Project description DEENESFRITPL Innovative vibration and auralisation software for railways Railway transport improvement is associated with the emergence of new applications handling the environmental impact of the sector. The EU-funded SILVARSTAR project will provide the railway community with demonstrated software tools and methodologies that assess the noise and vibration environmental effect of railway traffic on a system level. The project connects leading industrial and academic partners specialised in noise and vibration modelling, engineering consulting, software development for environmental impact studies, auralisation and visualisation, and rail manufacturing. SILVARSTAR will offer the railway community a commonly accepted, operable and validated methodology and a user-friendly prognostic tool for ground vibration impact studies. The project will also develop an entirely functional system for auralisation and visualisation. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective SILVARSTAR brings together a unique consortium of six leading industrial and academic partners who contribute excellence in noise and vibration modelling (ISVR, KU Leuven), engineering consulting (Vibratec, Wölfel), software development for environmental impact studies (Wölfel) and for auralisation and visualisation (EMPA), as well as dissemination of collaborative project results to the European rail manufacturing industry (UNIFE).The overall goal of SILVARSTAR is to provide the railway community with proven software tools and methodologies to assess the noise and vibration environmental impact of railway traffic on a system level.The first overall objective of SILVARSTAR is to provide the railway community with a commonly accepted, practical and validated methodology and a user-friendly prediction tool for ground vibration impact studies. This tool will be used for environmental impact assessment of new or upgraded railways on a system level. It will provide access to ground vibration predictions to a wider range of suitably qualified engineers and will facilitate project planning and implementation by improved simulation processes.The second overall objective of SILVARSTAR is to develop a fully functional system for auralisation and visualisation based on physically correct synthesised (exterior and interior) railway noise, providing interfaces with Virtual Reality visualisation software. This system will facilitate communication with the public, decision makers and designers through virtual experience before delivery of projects.
