| Results and Impact | This first stakeholder group meeting brought together the MOTIV research teams from the universities of Cambridge, Southampton and Nottingham. Also in attendance were research collaborators from KU Leuven in Belgium, industrial partners from Arup, URS, Pandrol UK, Centro and London Underground. Presentations were given by the Principal Investigators and some of their PhD students. The main focus of the meeting was to initiate discussions on the development of computationally efficient numerical models that improve the accuracy of prediction of ground vibration from trains. These discussions covered both academic and industrial perspectives, and the main areas to be addressed under the MOTIV project were finalised. The roles of each of the represented entities in achieving the set objectives of MOTIV project were highlighted. At the end of the meeting, the goals and scope of the MOTIV project were agreed upon from both academic and industrial perspectives. Also, the initial framework for collaboration among the various stakeholders was proposed. |
