Successful Tram Approval in Dortmund: PROSE Delivers Expertise in Running Dynamics

We are proud to announce the successful completion of our latest project with HeiterBlick GmbH, where we provided crucial expertise in the assessment of running dynamics for the new trams in Dortmund, under the stringent regulations of BOStrab. 

What was this project about? 

• Collaboration: PROSE worked closely with the technical supervisory authority of North Rhine-Westphalia (TAB NRW) and HeiterBlick to define the scope of verification. 
• Expertise: Our team, including Dr. Johannes Keudel and EBA-approved expert Stefan Bühler, meticulously assessed the tram’s dynamic behavior to ensure compliance and safety. 
• Outcome: The new vehicles have been authorized and are operational since April 2024, with further assessments planned for modernized vehicles. 

The customer benefited significantly from our expert guidance, receiving precise instructions on the necessary evidence for tram approval. Our customer-orientated approach ensured that the approval was hardly delayed despite the late receipt of important information, so that the trams could be put into operation on time. This efficiency underscores the value of PROSE’s commitment to delivering timely and high-quality results. 

We look forward to continuing our work in advancing transportation solutions. You can find more information about this project here: https://prose.one/expert-report-for-approval-of-new-trams-in-dortmund/
