Polish infrastructure manager and universities to develop monitoring system

ongoing

PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. Polish rail infrastructure manager PKP PLK, together with Polish universities, will develop an extensive monitoring system, which will gather information such as noise level and vibrations linked to specific vehicles. A modern, innovative monitoring system for the Polish railways will be developed by scientists from the Gdańsk University of Technology and the Wrocław University of Technology. PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. and the Polish National Centre for Research and Development have signed an agreement with a consortium of the two universities to this end. The project encompasses developing a system for precise monitoring of the impact of rail traffic on the environment, taking into account information on traffic, technical and environmental data, according to PKP PLK. A prototype of the monitoring hardware device, together with management and data analysis software, should be ready in autumn 2025.
