In railway applications, the testing of on-board components is necessary to optimize the efficiency of the systems and to allow high safety levels. In order to reduce the time and the cost of the testing phase, the use of dedicated test rigs is being increased. The current paper summarizes some studies for the realization of a full-scale locomotive roller rig. The main mechanical and control problems that arise in the design of this type of test rig have been highlighted, and in particular, the feasibility of tests with degraded adhesion conditions between the wheel and the rail is simulated.
