ContiTech air spring systems: Safety and a worldwide
service system
Since January 2012 ContiTech Air Spring Systems has been operating
the world’s only laboratory for testing air spring systems in rail vehicles,
and its independence has been recognized by the award of an official
accreditation certificate. The laboratory has received accreditation for
twelve important testing methods for the rail industry, in compliance
with DIN EN ISO/ IEC 17025. With this range of services ContiTech Railway
Engineering emphasises its capabilities as a leading supplier of
air spring systems for use in railway engineering. Service and safety
are at the heart of the display by ContiTech at this trade show. The display
also features other high quality, hard-wearing products from ContiTech.
The air springs that meet Japanese industrial standards are a
new addition to the programme, and products also include a wider
range of spare parts. The bellows cylinder that has been developed
specially for use on rail vehicles is designed to be used with pantographs.
Pipes carrying liquids or compressed air and which can cope
with all the stresses of everyday railway usage complete the display.

CORYS T.E.S.S.:
Realistic train simulator
A new kind of train simulator technology is being displayed by CORYS for
the first time at InnoTrans 2012. This French exhibitor has over 600 train
simulators, which are in operation all over the world. In 2011 the company
completed a major research and development project in order to
transfer its track image material, consisting of computer generated images,
to the latest, serious gaming technology. Compared with the previous
generation of CGI systems, this new solution from CORYS offers a
number of advantages such as a three-fold improvement in performance,
over one million polygons per image, more objects, more details, improved
visual presentation and countless special effects. In terms of the instruction
process for driver training this improved performance has produced
a number of positive results. These include more realistic visual
databases, with a correspondingly better level of acceptance by drivers
in the course of their training, and the evaluation of more realistic driving
situations such as night journeys, and a greater ability to estimate
distances, and thus the improved recognition of signals.
