NEW RAIL FASTENING SYSTEM TO REDUCE FRICTION LOSSES AND NOISE IN RAILWAYS

Objective

The new rail fastening principle DS ISO rail allows an optimal absorption of the vibrations. The system is based on the use of flexible supports with a high damping degree, alternated with fairly supports.

The system allows flexing of the rail with nodal points at the location of the stiff supports and maximum amplitude at the location of the flexible supports which contain heavy damping. This system ensures an excellent vibration isolation. It decreases the nearing of the rails as well as the emitted noise due to the wheel rail contact. The friction force rail/wheel is reduced and hence the energy consumption.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
