Product Description

Rail operators and maintenance teams usually need a second vehicle to validate electrical and mechanical coupling functions, e.g. for dual-traction mode  or communication during commissioning and maintenance activities. Coordinating additional rolling stock can increase costs, extend maintenance windows, and impact vehicle availability.

TwinTrain-Traction eliminates this requirement through advanced electronic and mechanical simulation of a coupled rail vehicle. The system reproduces the interfaces and signals normally provided by a second train, enabling technicians to perform comprehensive functional testing using a single vehicle.

Designed for a multitude of rail applications, TwinTrain-Traction supports dual-traction mode testing, including electronic and mechanical coupling validation, through an intuitive software interface. Built on our proven UTMS.neXt architecture, the solution provides a future-ready platform that helps operators streamline maintenance activities, reduce operational costs, and improve fleet availability
