Apart of the activities on intensive railway educational programsthe Fachgebiet Schienenfahrzeuge (Rail Vehicles) organizes its research activities in the fields:

  • Running gear of vehicles, mainly freight, trams and multiple units, stability and durabilty
  • Improvement of reliability by diagnosis systems, design of the evaluation routines, flow of data
  • Improving energy efficiency by radial steering bogies an improvement of regenerative braking and aerodynamic optimisation
  • Track: The chair has a long-standing experience in the research of track noise, including roughness measurements and track decay rate measurements and also noise simulations
