Control of vibration from underground rail traffic

Objetivo

Electrified underground rail systems provide the apparent solution to mass transport of people in cities but their future success and growth require a high degree of eco-efficiency. Metro rail systems cause vibrations, which create noise disturbance in adjacent habitation. CONVURT is aimed at creating the innovative tools where ground borne vibrations can be predicted and minimised. The proposal is to create a validated computer based prediction model as well as prototype innovative vibration reducing products, both able to be applied to world-wide sales. CONVURT will also develop novel monitoring and maintenance techniques that will prevent deterioration of vibration performance with time. The project will make unique, invaluable input to the development of ISO rail noise standards and produce 'Best Practice Guidelines'.
