PJM tests pantographs on Stadler Rail‘s KISS double-decker trains
Stadler Rail relies on the expertise of PJM to test the pantographs and wheel-set torsional oscillations of the KISS double-decker multiple unit train.

Until the end of January, PJM carried out dynamic track tests in the pantograph area as an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited test center. The vehicle tests in accordance with EN 50317 took place on the Western railroad, which runs from Vienna to Salzburg, and on the so-called Franz-Josefs railway in Lower Austria.
The measurements were carried out in multiple traction. Hence, the vehicle data and data from two measuring pantographs were recorded synchronously. ‘The transition from the development and establishment of our new testing area to customer projects was seamless. We are delighted that the complex pantograph measurements have become an integral part of our testing portfolio after such a short time,’ says Martin Joch, CEO of PJ Messtechnik GmbH.
The double-decker multiple unit train undergoes further test runs. E.g. in February, the rail vehicle was tested for wheelset torsional oscillations. Eight telemetry systems will be used to determine and record the strains on the wheel-sets.
The barrier-free double-decker multiple-unit trains will be used throughout Austria for ÖBB‘s ocal services. They have generously designed boarding areas for a quick passenger change, multi-purpose zones for bicycles and pushchairs, an innovative automatic air conditioning system with natural refrigerant and other technical highlights.
