„Railway technology has been already connecting us for three centuries …“
Basic information
Our activities
Research and professional activities of the institute are focused on
designing and assessment of modern and effective railway structures
regarding improving reliability and safety of railway transport. We
help in designing of railway structures; we monitor and diagnose
railway constructions; we carry out static and dynamic analyses; we
measure and evaluate acoustic and vibration parameters regarding
hygienic requirements and environmental protection.
Our equipment
Facilities provide possibilities of the multichannel acquisition of
acoustic or vibration parameters of civil or machinery structures;
which means noise, vibrations, strain, deflections, pressure,
temperature and further dynamic and experimental modal analyses:
multichannel measuring units for static and dynamic measurement of
vibration, strain, temperature and experimental modal analysis;
sets of displacement sensors, accelerometers, strain gauges,temperature and pressure sensors;
sound analyzer, microphones;
sets of impact hammers and exciters for experimental dynamic analyses;
high speed camera including necessary lightening;
sets for static load test and dynamic load test;
geodetic total stations, instruments for technic or precise leveling, gauge bars etc.
Advanced software tools:
modelling of road or railway transport noise (SoundPlan);
software for FEM or BEM (LMS Acoustic, Ansys);
Geographic Information Systems (ArcGIS);
data processing FlexPro;
software developed at the department for data evaluation in time, frequency and time-frequency domain.
What do we offer
support for designing of railway structures and constructions,
cooperation in preparation of railway and tram tracks modernization and
reconstructions studies;
short or long term continual monitoring and diagnosis of tracks;
static and dynamic analyses of railway structures, calculations of
stability and reliability of railway superstructure and substructure;
measuring and analyses of acoustic and vibration parameters of railway
structures as well as other civil and machinery structures (e.g. road
pavements by SPB and CBX methods);
experimental modal analysis of civil and machinery structures, analyses under static or dynamic loading;
development of special instrumental equipment, development of software for data processing;
application of artificial intelligence methods in process of structures assessment.
