| Abstract | The report proposes the conceptual design of a facility for testing full-scale railway wheelsets, and associated brake rigging, over a realistic range of environmental conditions.
This report is intended to provide guidance, both during detailed facility design, when it can be used as a checklist to establish that each type of test may be readily achieved, and during subsequent validation and testing. |
