Use of numerical simulation to map and mitigate railway particle emissions
This feasibility study is an interdisciplinary collaboration between three research institutes (VTI, Chalmers University of Technology and RISE) and a railway brake manufacturer (Faiveley Transport Nordic). Senior researchers specialized on numerical modelling of friction brakes and on particle matters (PM), are combined with expertise in the field of train driving simulation to reduce railway’s impact on environment and human health. The train driving simulator of VTI is further developed to account for the wear generated at the brake blocks and in the wheel‒rail contact. A literature study that focuses on prediction of railway particle emissions is presented.
