<p>A train test platform (101) for integration testing of actual train components of a multiple car railway train and a method to test such actual train components ahead of production of the first actual real train or without the need of an actual complete train is provided. The test platform (101) comprises a supervisor unit (119) and several car units (111 to 118) linked by a reflective memory system (137). The actual components to be tested are installed in instrumentation units of the respective car units (111 to 118). The instrumentation units provide break out interfaces for connecting the actual train components to a train communication system (136) comprising the wiring bus systems power supplies etc. that are functionally identical to the communication system (136) in the actual train. Further the instrumentation units simulate those components not being present physically in the respective cars to provide the signals produced by theses components and to react on signals designated for these components. Testing is performed by monitoring and or manipulating signals at the break out interfaces in real time. All testing is controlled by the supervisor unit (119) using the reflective memory to exchange information with the platform components in the respective car units (111 to 118).</p> |
