Abstract

A European cooperative project aims to develop an innovative and cost effective method toidentify road and rail vehicles by means of their environmental footprint as characterized bydynamic load, noise, ground borne vibration and gaseous emissions induced by the vehicle.This characterization can produce a method for a ‘true’ bottom up allocation of effects ofvehicles on infrastructure and environment. An important part of this project is the installationof road and rail Footprint Monitoring Sites (FMS) throughout Europe. This paper presents theresults from the Swiss FMS where the environmental Footprints of heavy vehicles aresystematically collected and compared.
