Experience has shown that along high-speed train lines, noise barrier problems in the form of high deformations, fatigue damage and loose noise barrier elements have become more frequent. The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology showed the actual load situation at high train speeds for the train types occurring in Austria and worked out adjustments for the design in the course of extensive investigations (long-term monitoring, data analysis, numerical calculations etc.).
This project was carried out on behalf of ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG.
