This is how we should describe the cooperation between the Consortium of the Gdansk University of Technology and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. This unique city-to-city(Gdansk & Wroclaw)research project with the acronym InfraNoise is carried out under the title " A system for precise monitoring of the impact of railway traffic on the environment, including information on traffic, technical and environmental data. The competition was launched as part of the BRIK II cooperation. It involves supporting scientific research and development work in the area of railway infrastructure: "Research and Development in Railway Infrastructure". The whole thing is supervised by the National Center for Research and Development (NCBR) and PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. (PKP PLK S.A.).
The InfraNoise project concerns an extremely important problem related to the protection of the environment, as well as urban areas occurring in the immediate vicinity of the railway infrastructure, noise and vibration. As part of this project, the consortium is developing an innovative measurement and analytical system for monitoring a number of traffic, technical and environmental parameters important from the point of view of railway infrastructure management.
