Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles

Project description

Training in pass-by noise engineering for new powertrain vehicles

Transportation noise is a lethal environmental pollutant in Europe. Legislation on maximum noise emission levels is designed on the basis of standardised pass-by noise test procedures. To ensure novel, eco-friendly, and often electrified vehicle powertrain concepts meet these regulations, there is a need for novel approaches to designing as well as evaluating pass-by noise. The EU-funded PBNv2 project aims to provide comprehensive training to early stage researchers (ESRs) in cutting-edge topics, offering both theoretical and practical education in pass-by noise engineering for new powertrain vehicles. The training will cover the pass-by noise aspects of the "source," the "transfer path," and the "receiver." By bringing together ESRs, experienced specialists and industrial entities and stakeholders, the project aims to foster collaboration among diverse scientific disciplines.

Objective

With transportation noise being the second most deadly environmental pollutant in Europe, engineering for future mobility must be inspired by ecology, economy and health to enable green and silent vehicles. Legislations define maximum noise emission limits that have to be complied with during standardized pass-by noise test procedures. Given novel, often electrified, vehicle powertrain concepts, new pass-by noise evaluation approaches are required.

The proposed PBNv2 project (Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles) brings together early stage researchers and experienced specialists from key players in academia and industry across Europe covering different scientific disciplines and industrial stakeholders form a broad range of backgrounds to optimally tackle the challenges ahead. The Fellows will be trained in innovative PhD topics as well as receiving specific theoretical and practical education in the field of pass-by noise engineering, tackling as well the pass-by noise aspects of the ‘source’, the ‘transfer path’ and the ‘receiver’.

PBNv2 is formed by 10 beneficiaries combining leading education institutes, top research institutions and leading companies as well as 7 partner organisations established in European automotive R&D, to assist in the dissemination and public engagement or PBNv2 results, and in providing dedicated training to enhance the entrepreneurial mind set of the ESRs. The Fellows will profit from top scientific research guidance in combination with highly relevant industrial supervision. Together these participants address the triple-I dimension of research training, being International, Interdisciplinary and Intersectoral.

Furthermore, the industry will gain from the specific training of the young researchers.
