Tests on an active line ü impact on track superstructure components, including track switches ü dynamic, running tests ü for establishing the structure and maintenance standards of the track, track switches and rolling stock chassis ü dynamic, strength ü braking ü for determining tractive resistance ü aerodynamic tests ü tests of interactions between various catenary systems and current collectors üfriction coefficient between wheels and rails

Tests are a part of the technological process of creating new equipment
