This project analyses the possible influential factors and the corresponding correction strategies for the energy consumption dynamic tests of Talgo High Speed trains. The conditions of the actual tests to which high-speed trains undergo are different from those proposed as a simulation hypothesis at the time of the offers. For this reason, the project deals with the proposal of acceptance criteria for the field tests, for which the sensitivity to external factors that may affect the energy consumption of the train will be studied. In addition, hypotheses and models will be developed to allow estimating corrections in the results of running time and energy consumption of the measures obtained during the actual tests.
