Rail Noise and Vibration Studies

Location:

  • Eastern Canada

The Challenge:

To solve noise and vibration issues on transit systems

The Innovation:

Aercoustics continues to be on the forefront of developing new modelling techniques, measurement campaigns, and signal processing techniques to help improve maintenance activities and evaluate new component technologies to help solve noise and vibration issues. In fact, in one of the largest ever rail vibration studies in North America, we developed the appropriate vibration monitoring measurement protocols and assessment standards to evaluate ongoing vibration issues with the transit system at large. After 30+ years, we still work with transit authorities to help them better understand noise and vibration issues from their system.
