SILVARSTAR, a collaborative project under the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking to contribute excellence in noise and vibration within the Cross-Cutting Activities of Shift2Rail.The project’s main ambition is aimed at the development of proven software tools for application in soil vibration and in auralisation within the railway sector. In this context, the project has two workstreams which address these challenges:
- The first work stream is focused on the prediction of ground vibration through the development and validation of a hybrid (numerical and experimental) approach.
- In the second work stream, auralisation and visualisation software tools will be developed based on a physics-based model to synthesize railway noise in high quality.
