PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an articulated vehicle testing arrangement which is compact and precisely simulates the running state of an articulated vehicle. SOLUTION: A frame assembly (30 and 50) includes a front vehicle end face (50a) opposite to an articulated part (3a) and is given a reference axis (57a) parallel to the front vehicle end face (50a). The frame assembly (30 and 50) is supported by a link support means (12), while the movement of the front vehicle end face (50a) is limited to a prescribed degree of freedom. The frame assembly (30 and 50) is engaged with a rise-and-fall/roll driving means (41) which moves the frame assembly so that the reference axis (57a) moves along the vertical direction and tilts therefrom, a rotation driving means (42) which moves the assembly so that the front vehicle end face (50a) is rotated around the reference axis (57a), and a horizontal driving means (40) which moves the assembly so that the reference axis (57a) is shifted horizontally in almost parallel to the front vehicle end face (50a). A load detecting means which detects loads on the rise-and-fall/roll driving means (41), the rotation driving means (42) and the horizontal driving means (40) is provided so as to conduct measurement.
