Capability Statement

Our test laboratory utilises state-of-the-art, proven measuring equipment when conducting static and dynamic tests. We can offer you test procedures for analysing standard measurement tasks as well as provide individual, customised measurement services. Our tests and test quantities: – Powertrain measurements (tractive/braking force, powertrain vibrations, anti-skid protection optimisation, wear, tonnage rating ascertainment for traction units) – Online driving resistance analysis (measurement of route topography, traction force at the wheel/rail contact point via measurement of traction force on the draw hook) – Blending of the dynamic and pneumatic brake systems – Diesel locomotive suitability (energy supply, performance factor, interaction of the power supply systems between the diesel locomotive and passenger car) – Power supply systems in railway vehicles (efficiency, frequency-selective input impedance, direct current on-board power supply) – Power measurements on overhead line equipment (voltage, current, harmonics, temperature) – Thermodynamic analyses, emissions and consumption measurements for diesel locomotives and diesel multiple units (preheaters and heat retainers, cooling capacity) – Fuel consumption measurement (efficiency of propulsion system for combustion traction units) We have measuring vehicles that can be used for many different purposes: – HSR measurement train (ICE-S) – NeiTech measurement train (VT 612) – Sound measuring train – Radio measurement car – Additional measuring vehicles, train drivers and testing supervisors. DB Systemtechnik is QMS certified to the ISO 9001 standard.
