Project information
- Acronym: LOWNOISEPAD
- Low cost noise control by optimised rail pad
- Project director: Lucie Anderton
- Project manager: Pinar Yilmazer
- Status: ongoing project
Project description
With this project, the project participants will individually measure and analyse their existing rail pads on their respective network and will aim to optimise rail pad stiffness confirming its dependence on acoustics-relevant parameters:
- track decay rates (TDR),
- rail fastening system,
- static/dynamic stiffness data including the damping parameters.
Having experiences on rail pad research will help the project’s participants to trigger their internal research for future rail pads on their network.
