Railway wheels are safety-critical components that significantly impact performance and they are major cost drivers for maintenance. The condition of the wheels also influences the infrastructure. Furthermore, wheel defects cause noise and vibration emissions, impacting the environment and they significantly reduce customer comfort.

The ETH Board appointed Eva Heinen, currently Full Professor at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany, as Full Professor of Transportation and Mobility Planning in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering.
