Objective
1. to make a study on the requirements of potential users (rolling stock producing industry, railway authorities, etc.) concerning noise measurement methodologies on trains. Another basis for noise measurement methodologies will be the draft for "Railway Applications -Measurement of External Noise Emitted by Railbound Vehicles" (CEN/TC 256 WG3) where already two different natures of methodologies are mentioned - type tests and monitoring tests.
2. to develop measurement procedures and methodologies for:
Emission Monitoring
* monitoring of exterior noise of individual vehicles and whole trains, which can be linked to maintenance, picking out defective vehicles, or even for "rail pricing";
* monitoring of daily exposure levels, to check whether legal limits are exceded. This system should be fully automated and enable collection of a consistent database of time histories of train noise, together with train data, meteorological data and all significant acoustic parameters for each event.
Diagnostic measurements and type testing
* measurement of the noise reduction of certain noise control measures
* source height localisation and quantification, to reveal the local effects of noise control measures, or to supply input into calculation schemes; this will be done by developing and applying new antenna techniques in conjunction with vibration measurements;
* type testing for acceptance on delivery
3. to apply the developed systems and procedures in a measurement campaign, to evaluate noise and vibration reduction measured on Low Noise Trains, serving both as a demonstration of measurement procedures and as an evaluation of the noise reduction measures.
%
The developed measurement methodologies will be applied in a measurement campaign in the second year of the project (summer 1998)

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
