Quieter tracks – more appealing rail traffic

The field of "railway technology" is highly complex. Noise and vibration control play a key role in a number of areas.

We work on the basis of a highly complex system, which involves the most diverse disciplines. Its components must fit together to comply with the multi-faceted acoustic requirements that apply to the system as a whole. This applies to passenger comfort within the vehicle as well as to the effects outside the vehicle, and, in particular, in the station area.

We support you in a number of ways when it comes to the two important areas in railway engineering – vehicles and tracks:

Rail vehicles

• Acoustics management
• Acoustic acceptance measurements
• Structural dynamics and fatigue
• Wheel roughness measurements: m|wheel
• Wheel Monitoring System (WMS)
• Train monitoring

Track systems

• Noise and vibration control on railway tracks
• Rail roughness measurements: m|rail
• Rolling noise and vibration predictions

Testing of flexible parts and suspensions

• Spring test bench
