Research creates value when it works in daily operation
Our research showed what intelligent, data-based rail head lubrication can achieve and how this understanding has developed systemically.
The next st…
Shaping tomorrow’s mobility, independently
Independence is proven by action, and ours shows in who we work for.
Over the past 40+ years, PROSE has partnered with customers across the rail indu…
Intelligent systems in rail transport must be considered as part of the overall system
Data-based rail head lubrication can significantly influence noise, wear and resource use. However, operators increasingly see that such solutions mu…
From Dresden to Vienna: one shared challenge
Over the past two weeks, PROSE brought intelligent rail head lubrication into two key industry forums in Dresden and Vienna. We used these events to…
Turning research into publication
Our research project on intelligent rail head lubrication has shown what is technically possible when lubrication is controlled on the basis of real…
What comes next when intelligent rail head lubrication has been validated?
Our intelligent rail head lubrication research project has shown that intelligent, data-based rail head lubrication works under real operating condit…
Marco Pagani appointed Co-Director of PROSE Business Unit Switzerland
We are pleased to announce that Marco Pagani will take on the role of Co-Director of our Business Unit Switzerland as of 1 May 2026. Together with Lu…
Reducing noise and wear begins with understanding why they occur
The results from our research project show what intelligent rail head lubrication can achieve in practice. In order to turn observed effects into rob…
Why intelligent rail head lubrication is not a niche topic
The results of our research clearly show that noise, wear and tear, and resource use can only be optimised together if decisions are made on the basi…
What is possible when rail head lubrication is intelligently controlled?
The results from our research are clear. The following effects were measured on a PoC track in urban operation:
−98.5% curve squealing
up to −60% lu…
Traditional rail head lubrication is reaching its limits – this is why
Urban rail transport is under constant pressure. Tight curve radii, high frequencies, and increasing environmental demands lead to familiar challenge…
