Summary

This report describes the measurements carried out by the aerodynamics measurement group FTZ821 of the Technology and Research Centre of DB AG within WP2 of TRANSAERO. The task of DB within this project was to carry out track-side aerodynamic measurements to create a reference data base for the validation the model scale tests and calculations done in WP3 and WP4, while the FS measurement team and another DB team performed a series of on-board measurements on a ETR500 high speed train and on freight trains [6, 15].
