Abstract
This paper briefly deals with development process of trackside test rig for testing of advanced railway sensing systems. The main aim of this development is the design of down-scaled device which could be used for testing of rail sensors and this device provide approximately similar strain and deflection of the rail model in comparison with real track. The model-based design and FEM analysis were used for tuning up of individual parameters and the pneumatic actuation system is used for simulation of passing load of train axle. The used load is in ratio 1:1000 and it provide similar rail strain as a real application. The developed test rig is used for testing of piezoelectric sensors and smart systems for future railways.
