HRMS: harmonisation of running behaviour and noise measurement sites

Measurement sites are autonomous local installations which provide information about the running behaviour (e.g. forces, loads, wheel out-of-roundness, etc.) and the noise emission of a passing train. The information about the physical effects of the interaction between wheel and rail is measured by sensors in the track. Commercial benefits for the railway system are given for railway undertakers and infrastructure managers. The difference between the payload stipulated in the transport contract and the real load becomes transparent. Improved wheel condition leads to a reduction in infrastructure deterioration (e.g. damage to track and bridges). The track access fee can be automatically evaluated including adjustments for overloading, track-friendly and low noise vehicles. Categorization of interoperable measurement sites is the key issue in the Project HRMS.
