Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Railways are environmentally friendly with few efforts, except for noise. However, even low-noise systems are achivable. There are two principle manners to get there. Secondary measures, such as noise barriers or even noise tunnels, are selected very often, but have only limited benefits, are very costly, and have significant disadvantages. Noise inside the vehicle increases, traction energy consumption increases, and safety is reduced. Primary measures, with noise reduction at the source, are superior. Tracknoise and vehicle noise can be reduced significantly compared to todays situation. Costs are also kept within tight limits if good measures are foreseen.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
