Running apparatus and testing apparatus

A running apparatus comprising:

• a rail having a linear segment and two curved segments, the linear segment being provided on a floor part arranged along a horizontal plane, the two curved segments being connected to respective opposite ends of the linear segment and curved upward from the ends;
• a bogie including a running unit capable of running on the rail;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the running unit in such a manner that the bogie runs at a certain speed at least on the linear segment, wherein
• the rail includes an upright segment connected to an upper end of the curved segment and extending upward from the upper end of the curved segment,
• the curved segment is formed in such a manner that a curvature of the curved segment increases toward an upper side of the curved segment from the linear segment, and
• the control unit controls the running unit in such a manner that the bogie enters one of the curved segments or the upright segment from the linear segment, reverses on the one of the curved segments or the upright segment, does not accelerate or decelerate on the upright segment, and enters the linear segment again to accelerate so as to increase the speed of the bogie or enters the linear segment again to decelerate so as to reduce the speed of the bogie.
