Abstract
The availability of monitoring data is scatter and limited to specific operating conditions. In this paper, a new scaled down experimental facility is presented. This facility is able to produce railcar dynamic data and track’s deformations. The scaled down experimental facility consisted of a track, a railcar with a tank or any other device that represents the cargo, and the instrumentation. The track is a closed circuit with curves in both directions. The scaled-down experimental facility is able to reproduce actual failures in a subway system.
