  • CM 2025 conference: A comparative study on the vibroacoustic properties of two different types of tramway bogies

    Krešimir Burnać, one of the URITMIS project team members, successfully presented most recent breakthroughs in our research with the paper and poster titled

    “A comparative study on the vibroacoustic properties of two different types of tramway bogies”

    on the 13th International Conference on Contact Mechanics and Wear of Rail/Wheel Systems #CM2025, held from 22nd to 26th September 2025 in Tokyo, Japan.

    The conference was a great opportunity for our colleague to meet with fellow researchers, to listen to the state-of-the-art presentations, and to present the current project findings connected to the hammer impact tests done on two different tramway bogies in order to get the wheel-rail contact to axle-box/bogie frame transfer functions and implement it into the acceleration data.

    A special thanks to Hrvatska zaklada za znanost (Croatian Science Foundation) for financially supporting the URITMIS project through the participation on the #CM2025 conference, making it possible to share our progress and discuss further ideas.

  • ICSV 31 conference: Detection and evaluation of switches & crossings on tramway infrastructure from vibration signals using machine learning techniques

    ICSV 31 conference: Detection and evaluation of switches & crossings on tramway infrastructure from vibration signals using machine learning techniques

    Our URITMIS project leader, assis. prof. Ivo Haladin, PhD successfully presented new findings in our research with the paper titled

    “Detection and evaluation of switches & crossings on tramway infrastructure from vibration signals using machine learning techniques”

    on the 31st International Congress on Sound and Vibration hashtag ICSV31, held in Icheon, Korea 6 – 11 July 2025.

    The conference was a great opportunity for prof. Haladin to present the current project findings and results connected to the machine learning techniques for evaluation of S&C’s using in-service tram vehicle vibrations with other colleagues and professionals from the associated research area.

    Many thanks goes to Hrvatska zaklada za znanost (Croatian Science Foundation) for financially supporting the URITMIS project and making it possible to share our research progress on the big stage such as #ICSV31 conference.

  • Internoise 2024 conference: Experimental analysis of wheel and bogie frame transfer functions for on-board measurements of rail roughness

    Internoise 2024 conference: Experimental analysis of wheel and bogie frame transfer functions for on-board measurements of rail roughness

    End of August 2024, two of our team members assoc. prof. Ivo Haladin and Krešimir Burnać visited Nantes, France to attend #Internoise2024 to present their paper

    „Experimental analysis of wheel and bogie frame transfer functions for on-bord measurements of rail roughness“.

    The congress was a great opportunity to meet colleagues from the similar research areas, discuss the actual research, explore new technical solutions on numerous exhibition stands and to attend interesting technical sessions, keynote and plenary lectures.

    This research paper was funded thanks to Hrvatska zaklada za znanost (Croatian Science Foundation) and projects “HRZZ – Young Researcher’s Career Development Project” and “URITMIS – Urban railway infrastructure predictive maintenance system based on monitoring of vibroacoustic track properties”.

  • ICSV 30 conference: Evaluation of rail weld quality based on acceleration signals acquired by in-service tramway vehicle

    ICSV 30 conference: Evaluation of rail weld quality based on acceleration signals acquired by in-service tramway vehicle

    In July 2024, our team member and project coordinator assoc. prof. Ivo Haladin PhD visited Amsterdam, Netherlands to attend 30th International Congress on Sound and Vibration #ICSV30 to present the paper

    „Evaluation of rail weld quality based on acceleration signals acquired by in-service tramway vehicle“

    written together with Krešimir Burnać.

    The congress provided an excellent opportunity to connect with colleagues in related research fields, discuss current studies, explore innovative technical solutions at various exhibition stands, and attend engaging technical sessions, keynote and plenary lectures.

    This research paper was funded thanks to Hrvatska zaklada za znanost (Croatian Science Foundation) and projects “HRZZ – Young Researcher’s Career Development Project” and URITMIS project “Urban railway infrastructure predictive maintenance system based on monitoring of vibroacoustic track properties”.
