Data-based rail head lubrication can significantly influence noise, wear and resource use. However, operators increasingly see that such solutions must be considered in the wider context of traction, braking and daily operation.
That is why we are placing the topic in a broader technical context:
On 23 April 2026 in Vienna, Dr Felix Saur, our expert in wheel-rail systems, will give a presentation at the 23rd Oberbremsrätekonferenz and the 21st International Central European Conference, an event organised by Knorr-Bremse GmbH Austria, on Intelligent traction optimisation of rail vehicles.
The conference offers another important platform for exchange between operations, technology and research, especially where friction, traction, braking and vehicle dynamics come together.
Reach out to Dr Felix Saur or Josef Kometer to meet up. We look forward to dialogue and discussion with the expert community.
