PIEZOFER Project

  • Duration: 30 months

  • Execution Period: 05/2025 – 10/2027

  • Research Centers: Tekniker

  • Participating Entities: Implaser and Tecnoseñal

  • Budget: €522,075

  • Funding: Partially co-financed by CDTI. Project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)

  • Location: Facilities of the participating centers and companies

Main Objective:
The overall goal of the PIEZOFER project is to develop a new, more sustainable piezoelectric system for integration into railway infrastructure. The energy generated by train-induced vibrations and captured by the piezoelectric system will be stored and used to send signals from a piezoelectric sensor installed in the same system. The signal will then be analyzed and compared by a centralized system to identify deviations from normal vibration patterns. This will enable early monitoring and detection of anomalies in the railway infrastructure.
