Project Description
The NOVITÀ Project ensures funding for the UIC Noise and Vibration Sector, supporting its role in addressing railway noise and vibration issues within a global sustainability framework. Given that rail is the second-largest noise pollutant in the transport sector, effective noise management is crucial to maintaining its environmental advantage and public acceptance.
Key Objectives
Global Awareness & Collaboration: Expanding beyond Europe to engage stakeholders worldwide in developing harmonized noise mitigation strategies. Policy & Research Integration: Aligning railway noise management with UN Sustainable Development Goals, European Green Deal targets, and international sustainability efforts. Technical & Strategic Support: Providing members with expert guidance, research coordination, and a platform for best practice exchange.
By funding the UIC Noise and Vibration Sector, NOVITÀ enables global dialogue, research initiatives, and engagement with policymakers, ensuring railway noise and vibration management remains a key pillar of sustainable transport.
