Today’s escalator mechanical systems are based on 100-year-old conventional designs. A sustainable innovation is possible but the industrial inertia of making a prototype for each design has to be changed. This document describes a methodological approach for comparing and validating simulation models through measurements performed on a prototype of a recently patented design. The methodology is based in the adjustment of parameters and the synchronization of cyclic signals in time, allowing the comparison of measurements and simulated outputs. Results shows a high level of correlation between the signals in the time and frequency domains, thus validating the dynamic model and the methodology here presented.
