Abstract

Despite the recent progress and the extensive use of modelling and simulation techniques, physical testing remains a major instrument for the development and validation of railway vehicles in respect to their running dynamics. Not only are the present vehicle acceptance procedures mostly based on physical rather than virtual tests, but testing is frequently used at different stages of the design process with diverse aims. In recent years, important developments have been introduced in the methods and facilities for laboratory tests on full vehicles and their sub-systems. The aim of this paper is to provide a survey of these recent developments.
