PBNv2 — Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles

Results in brief

Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles

With transportation noise being the second most deadly environmental pollutant in Europe, engineering for future mobility must be inspired by ecology, economy and health to enable green and silent vehicles. Legislations define maximum noise emission limits that have to be complied with during standardized pass-by noise test procedures. Given novel, often electrified, vehicle powertrain concepts, new pass-by noise evaluation approaches are required. The PBNv2 project brought together ESRs and specialists from key players in academia and industry covering different scientific disciplines and industrial stakeholders to optimally tackle the challenges ahead. The ESRs have been trained in innovative PhD topics and have received specific theoretical and practical education in the field of pass-by noise engineering, focusing on aspects of the ‘source’, the ‘transfer path’ and the ‘receiver’. PBNv2 was formed by 10 beneficiaries as well as 9 partner organisations established in European automotive R&D, to assist in the dissemination and public engagement or PBNv2 results, and in providing dedicated training to enhance the entrepreneurial mind set of the ESRs. The general objectives of the project were: - To bundle knowledge and research activities in the inter/multidisciplinary field of pass-by noise evaluation in order to achieve a decisive step forward in the development process of safe, quiet vehicles. - To stimulate interaction between industrial needs and academic research capacity in a joint training programme for ESRs. - To motivate young researchers through research combined with training measures not available at common education sites and universities. - To provide a balanced training program, considering the education stage of the researchers and their needs to efficiently progress in their scientific work, including transferrable skills. - To promote transfer of knowledge amongst the consortium participants and to disseminate the research output to the European community and publically engage it to the general population. - To facilitate the mobility of researchers according to their needs. - To specifically address woman researchers in order to make use of their potential and talent pool.

Project objective

With transportation noise being the second most deadly environmental pollutant in Europe, engineering for future mobility must be inspired by ecology, economy and health to enable green and silent vehicles. Legislations define maximum noise emission limits that have to be complied with during standardized pass-by noise test procedures. Given novel, often electrified, vehicle powertrain concepts, new pass-by noise evaluation approaches are required.The proposed PBNv2 project (Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles) brings together early stage researchers and experienced specialists from key players in academia and industry across Europe covering different scientific disciplines and industrial stakeholders form a broad range of backgrounds to optimally tackle the challenges ahead. The Fellows will be trained in innovative PhD topics as well as receiving specific theoretical and practical education in the field of pass-by noise engineering, tackling as well the pass-by noise aspects of the ‘source’, the ‘transfer path’ and the ‘receiver’.PBNv2 is formed by 10 beneficiaries combining leading education institutes, top research institutions and leading companies as well as 7 partner organisations established in European automotive R&D, to assist in the dissemination and public engagement or PBNv2 results, and in providing dedicated training to enhance the entrepreneurial mind set of the ESRs. The Fellows will profit from top scientific research guidance in combination with highly relevant industrial supervision. Together these participants address the triple-I dimension of research training, being International, Interdisciplinary and Intersectoral. Furthermore, the industry will gain from the specific training of the young researchers.
