Abstract

During the last few years the development of software and hardware has provided large improvements in terms of computational simulation including dynamic analysis. Particularly, with respect to the study of railway vehicles is possible to have a quite accurate prediction of the vehicle dynamic behaviour, under any running conditions. By this way it is possible to put on market a new train technology in a shorter period of time, reducing to a minimum the number of necessary prototypes, having consequent effects on final costs. However, to validate a new train, computational simulations are not enough, being necessary experimental tests, in real conditions, to ensure the vehicle safety and reliability.
