13. specialists I projects I management © Brunel Railmotive, 2005, EURNEX Pole 4 Meeting, Prague, 25.11.2005 13 What do we face today? Type testing –Expensive –Country specific (national deltas) –No coupling to simulation possible –At the end of production cycle Rail freight traffic –Innovation costs –Rail too expensive or raod too cheap? Homologation –Ships are flagged to the caribics, will trains follow the same idea? –Authorities do not always think in terms of a united europe –Procedures of authorities differ extremely

14. specialists I projects I management © Brunel Railmotive, 2005, EURNEX Pole 4 Meeting, Prague, 25.11.2005 14 Where do we want to go? Simulation Testing –How do we get validated simulation models? –How da we get reliable input data for complex parameter? –How can we establish a coupled simulation – testing approach in the standards e.g. DIN EN 14363 Harmonization of testing quality Harmonization of approval processes? Knowledge data base for vehicles –Parameters –Results of testing –Easy to use –Confidentiality? Testing of new bogie designs to become standard TSI / UIC bogies
