Railway Induced Vibration Abatement Solutions (RIVAS) – is a European research project which aims to reduce the environmental impact of ground-borne vibration while safeguarding the commercial competitiveness of the railway sector.
For several areas of concern, vibration should be reduced to near or even below the threshold of perception. The project goal is to provide the tools to solve vibration problems for surface lines by 2013. It will develop relevant and world leading technologies to ensure efficient control of people’s exposure to vibration and vibration-induced noise caused by rail traffic.
