Summary
This paper presents the concepts of a new tram quality measure: vibroacoustic
activity. It is based on a complex phenomenon occurring during tram ride in real
operating conditions, by taking into account different technologies and the technical
state of the tramway infrastructure and the differences in construction of the selected
tram types. The methodology of the experimental research and basic remarks on
those are also presented. At the core of the experimental research it was assumed
that changes in the technical state of riding units (bogies) are the main changes in the
vibroacoustic activity of the tram. These changes are possible to observe and
recognize in a pass-by test.
In this study, multi-faceted analysis of the impact of a tram type on the results
was performed. The collected experience allowed the preparation of a concept tram
operation support system. This paper presents the methodological basis for
developing a monitoring system of vibroacoustic activity level of a tram under urban
operational conditions. The project is implemented and developed with cooperation
of the local tram operator (MPK Poznan) and the Urban Transport Authority of
Poznan as a complementary solution to the on-board technical state monitoring
system, developed by the authors within the MONIT project.
