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 basis of data.
Many questions are currently arising among operators, which can only be addressed through open dialogue between operators, maintainers, researchers and technologists.
That is why we want to spread the topic of intelligent rail head lubrication into various specialist formats and share our knowledge. Two events in the coming weeks will provide an important platform for this, offering different perspectives:
On 5 March 2026 in Dresden, Dr Felix Saur, our expert in wheel–rail interaction, will speak at the 21st International Railway Vehicle Conference on Self-learning rail head lubrication for trams
On 11 March 2026 in Vienna, Dr Felix Saur will provide insights at the 30th meeting of the Sound and Vibration Working Group (Rail Transport) on Intelligent, mobile lubrication systems using on-board acoustic measurement
We look forward to open discussions, critical questions and the exchange of experiences.
