French term

les essais de circulation

French to English Other Other Railroad Construction Contract
Now, this has to do with building a new section of railroad for high speed trains to use. They are going to do testing with the trains to make sure it is all up to specs and safe to use. Obviously, I would say that this would be a sort of "test drive" but that is for cars and I don't believe they use the same term for testing out a train on the tracks. Does anybody who works with trains know what the proper term is for "les essais de circulation"?

Context:

Au plus tard 3 (trois) mois et 1 (une) semaine avant la date prévue pour le démarrage des essais avant Mise en Service, le Constructeur communique au Concessionnaire pour revue et commentaires le programme général, les principes directeurs et les procédés nécessaires pour mener à bien les essais ainsi que les vérifications qu'il prévoit d'effectuer à l'occasion de l'achèvement de la construction des ouvrages.

Ce programme général comporte notamment les essais de montée en vitesse, les essais de circulation et les marches à blanc prévus par l'article 9 de l'annexe 2 du Contrat de Concession.

Le Constructeur prend en compte les commentaires formulés, le cas échéant, par le Concessionnaire afin de permettre à celui-ci de procéder à la validation de ces documents.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Great answers all of you. They are Trial runs, test runs, and traffic tests. It's true that they are testing out the track and not the locomotive. But the thing is, they repeat themselves a little when it comes to talking about the test runs/trial runs. Anyway, I appreciate your help, all three of you."

traffic tests

il s'agit de tester la route et non pas les véhicules qui vont rouler dessus.

sorry, lu trop vite!

...tester la voie de chemin de fer et non les locomotives/trains (et non pas la route!!)

La SNCF dit \"test drive\" pour tester les TGV (j\'en ai fait un avec des journalistes) mais ici c\'est la voie qui est soumise aux essais
