Austrian passenger transport will be enriched by the KISS double-decker train from Stadler Rail in the future. As an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited test center, PJM is making a decisive contribution to this with tests on the pantograph and oscillations measurements.
Until the end of January, PJM carried out dynamic track tests in accordance with EN 50317 in the pantograph area on Stadler Rail's KISS double-decker train. The measurements were carried out in multiple traction. The vehicle data and data from two pantographs were recorded synchronously. This has enabled a seamless transition from the development and establishment of the new test area for complex pantograph measurements to the realization of a specific project.
The double-decker multiple-unit train will undergo further test runs. Since February, the rail vehicle have been tested for torsional vibrations. Eight telemetry systems are used to determine and record the strains on the wheelsets. The barrier-free double-decker multiple-unit trains with a large passenger capacity will be used throughout Austria for ÖBB's local and long-distance services.
