TNO, Erwin Jansen, Michael Dittrich QuieterRail Virtual certification methodology for freight wagons
Bern University of Applied Sciences, Institute for Optimization and Data Analysis IODA, Niki Zumbrunnen First modeling and evaluation of the data For this exploratory analysis, the following questions were chosen as a starting point:
  • How good is the data quality?
  • How comparable are the measurement cross-sections with each other?
  • What are the criteria or boundary conditions for future measurement campaigns?
  • How do environmental influences generally affect the track superstructure and specifically the noise?
  • What influence do the new rail pads and the under-sleeper pads of the concrete sleepers (B-91) have on the noise?
