Tests for infrastructure

The ever-increasing demands on the infrastructure – higher speeds, higher axle loads, more traffic on the railways – constantly require innovative solutions that must be implemented, tested and approved accordingly.

That is why we offer:

• ​Comprehensive support of construction types and their modules in the technical life cycle
• Preparation of Technical Notes (TM) and release recommendations
• Condition monitoring, systems and modules
• Evaluation of costs and benefits
• Initiation of supplier development
• Analysis of irregularities and disturbances and recommendation for action
• Obtaining internal company approvals

We perform tests in the following disciplines:

• track position
• tilting technology
• track switching means

• ETCS - European Train Control System

  

  

  The ETCS train control system is being used on more and more routes in Europe. We make your fleet ready for ETCS: feasibility studies, retrofitting, testing and approval of your existing vehicles.
