Railway rolling noise arises from the combined roughness of the wheel and rail running surfaces. The rail roughness has therefore become an important parameter in the assessment of pass-by noise from trains. This paper describes a ‘road test’ of a new draft standard for rail roughness measurements being prepared for use in the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI’s) in Europe which has been commissioned by CEN from TC 256 Working Group 3. Because of the timing of the ‘road test’, this paper outlines the purposes and aims of the project with some preliminary results and conclusions shown. It should not be taken to convey the final considered view of the working group. However, the general consistency of the measurements is shown as well as the variance. Once the results have been analysed and considered in more detail, they may be used to inform some clarifications or modifications of the standard.
