Railway Vehicle Traction and Braking Forces
This test measures and documents the traction effort and braking force capabilities of railway vehicles under specified operational conditions. The test determines maximum driving force, acceleration profiles, and braking deceleration rates to establish a vehicle's dynamic performance envelope. Accurate documentation of these forces is essential for train operation planning, safety assurance, infrastructure loading assessment, and driver safety training. Rolling stock manufacturers, railway operators, infrastructure managers, and certification bodies rely on this testing. ISO 17025 accreditation ensures measurements are traceable, reproducible, and meet the rigorous standards required for railway system safety and interoperability across Europe.
What it measures
- Maximum traction force at wheel-rail interface
- Acceleration force and power output characteristics
- Service and emergency braking force magnitudes
- Braking deceleration rates under various conditions
- Force distribution between vehicle axles
