How can we better understand and manage noise emissions from railway vehicles?

Last week,PROSE-employees Dr. Felix Saur, Yves Kohler and Stefan Bühler had the privilege of attending the “Lärmforschung Eisenbahn” event organised by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment FOEN (BAFU). The event was a hub of knowledge and innovation with around 70 participants from Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.

The program featured six compelling speeches on the topic of noise emissions from railway vehicles. Various models were presented and discussed, each aiming to determine the noise generated by railway vehicles accurately. These models are becoming increasingly detailed and complex, considering the characteristics of the vehicle, the rail, and its substructure.

A notable highlight was the comparison between Switzerland’s state-of-the-art models and Germany’s older “Schall 03” model, showcasing Switzerland’s leading role in driving innovation in this field.

We are proud to be part of events that foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing across borders. We look forward to leveraging these insights to further improve our contributions to the industry.
