Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / method for detecting defects/hazardous conditions in passing rail vehicles
English term or phrase: rollout
The unbalancing of a wagon following a load shift may even cause a ***rollout*** of the relevant vehicle, with a consequent derailment event.

Mir faellt hier einfach kein passender Begriff ein - danke schon jetzt fuer jeden Vorschlag!

Explanation:
Now, it is quite clear that this text has not been written by a railway specialist, because, although "rollout/ roll out" IS known in railway circles, none of the meanings applies here.
1) "rollout/roll out" = to launch, introduce (also in the auto industry); launch, introduction;
2) "rollout/roll out" = to decelerate to a stop with no power applied; such deceleration;
3) a technical term connected with the suspension system of tilting trains.

I can therefore only imagine it means "to tilt gradually to one side (towards which the load has shifted)", which would eventually result in a "derailment 'event'???" - possibly it was an American writer, we'd just call it a derailment, not a derailment event...

At all events, I think you should check with the author or customer; I certainly cannot see it meaning "schlingern", which I do not think would be caused by a shifting load. "Schlingern" is normally caused by less-than-perfect wheelset geometry, or track geometry.
