  1. SILENT RAIL FREIGHT IN THE NETHERLANDS Pieter Dronkert Dep of Transport, Rail Freight Divison 25 okt 2005

  2. Co-operation 2 Departments and Infra Managers Started 2002, Ends 2007 Total budget: € 110 mln. Development and Implementation Cost-Effective Measures Road and Rail IPG: Dutch Noise Innovation Program

  3. Co-ordinated by ProRail (IM) Budget: € 25 mln Focussed on Track and Rolling Stock Renewed focus: Implementation of Silent Rolling Stock IPG-Rail

  4. - Fixed Noise Measure Spots - Tuned Raildamper - Acoustic Grinding - Retrofit Project(s) IPG-Rail: Successes

  5. Tuned Raildamper

  6. Cast Iron Blocks: Rugged Wheels cause more Noise Whispering Train: K-block project LL-blocks: pilot project(s) IPG-Retrofit: Composite Brake Blocks

  7. Target: More Information about Retrofitting with K-blocks and Noise Reduction of 7-10 dB Acoustic Measures and Effects Life Cycle Cost Retrofit costs Whispering Train Project: K-Blocks

  8. - Noise reduction: 9 dB for K-Blocks and Wheel Dampers togehter - Another 1 dB for TKS-spring - Costs Retrofit: € 6.000,- for K-blocks - LCC: frequent replacement needed due to asymmetric wear First ResultsWhispering Train Project

  9. IPG: looking for 2 pilots Testing all 3 released LL-blocks Start: beginning 2006 Halfway 2007: results Target pilots: more information and permanent release LL-blocks LL-pilot(s)

  10. With K-blocks: expensive With LL-blocks: hopeful development need permanent release do pilots etc Retrofitting Freight Wagons

  11. Possibilities: EU- or National Financial Support Retrofitting Discount on Track Access Charge Noise Production Limits Implementation Silent Freight Wagons

  12. EU 2001/14: discount TAC possible Discount TAC incentive for Operators to Retrofit Dependent on availability and success LL-blocks Discount on Track Access Charge
