Knowledge: measurement and test technology
Test engineering
From July 2028, new passenger car tire types face an abrasion limit. TMX sums up what UN R117 and UN R186 regulate and what a drum test stand for abrasion testing needs to do.
Test stand bases
Aluminum profile, welded steel frame, natural granite, filled steel structure, or solid mineral casting: TMX matches the five base classes to test tasks and shows which criterion leads in each case.
Brake testing
Brake distance on rail vehicles can be measured with very different methods. TMX puts the common technologies in context and shows which error sources actually matter during braking.
Brake testing
Regular braking distance measurements under BOStrab are routine for German transit operators. This article explains what is measured, when testing is required, and which brake applications and speeds are tested.

Test engineering
Why test stands often become outdated sooner than they should, and how four dimensions help you get requirements, modularity, scalability, and cost under control.
Case Study
How TMX Solutions upgraded the existing drive unit test stand for new vehicle platforms in three months, with a cost-effective design and seamless integration.
Case Study
How Zurich Public Transport (VBZ) standardized brake distance testing in three depots and its central workshop with one system.
