EXPERIMENTAL SIMULATION PROCESS, FOR OBTAINING INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE RELIABILITY OF AN AUTOMATIC PASSENGER ACCESS DOOR

摘要

Disclosed is an experimental simulation method for obtaining information relative to the reliability of an automatic passenger access door for a railway vehicle, including: a) fixing a non-downgraded and nominally adjusted door prototype, including a frame, a casement and an actuator driving the casement, on a test bench; b) subjecting the prototype to a series of tests; c) measuring, throughout the tests, signals characteristic of the performance of the door; and d) reiterating a) to c) with a downgraded door prototype at several downgrade levels. Step b) includes altering at least one of the context elements from among the orientation of the prototype around a first axis corresponding to the gradient, the orientation of the prototype around a second axis corresponding to the incline, the deformation of the frame and/or the casement, the line voltage of the door system, the weather conditions, or the presence of a door closure obstacle.
