BRIEF OVERVIEW
Railway Vehicle and Track Interaction Testing Center was established as an independent organization in 2007. The main activities of the IC VEIP:
- carrying out certification tests of rolling stock and track infrastructure elements according to orders from the Register of Certification in Federal Railway Transport;
- development of projects for new models of freight cars and putting into production;
- carrying out scientific and practical work aimed at improving the regulatory framework and design of technical means of railway transport under contracts with infrastructure owners in Russia, foreign railways, manufacturers of railway equipment from Russia and European countries
ABOUT COMPANY
INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TESTING CENTER
The Testing Center team has extensive experience in testing various types of rolling stock - locomotives, electric and diesel trains, freight and passenger cars, special rolling stock, as well as turnouts and its components, elements of the superstructure of the track. IC VEIP conducts unique tests: at speeds over 250 km/h; determining the influence of various factors on the operation of the track and its interaction with rolling stock - for high-speed and heavy-duty traffic, with various structures of the superstructure, as well as climatic and weather factors; identifying the influence of wheel tread surface defects. For more than twenty years, the employees of the Testing Center have been carrying out work on mathematical modeling of the interaction between track and rolling stock using repeatedly tested models and mathematical tools. The equipment at the disposal of the Testing Center allows testing of technical means of railway transport not only at specialized test sites, but also on sections of main tracks.

SUBWAY TESTING
- Since its creation, the Testing Center has conducted tests of subway rolling stock:
- Measurement of mechanical stresses and vibration accelerations in the attachment points of horizontal vibration dampers in the areas of the transverse beams of the car frame of model 81-760/81-761;
- Conducting dynamic strength tests of a four-car train consisting of cars of models 81-760A, 81-761A, 81-763A;
- Carrying out impact tests on the head car of model 81-722;
- Carrying out dynamic strength tests of cars models 81-722, 81-723, 81-724;
- Conducting preliminary and acceptance tests on the impact on the track of cars of models 81-765, 81-766, 81-767
