...Xiaozhen Li; Zhen Guo; Kangning Lei; Xuehui Hu; Lin Liang In order to study the effects of a steel spring floating slab track (SSFST) on the vibration and noise of rail transit overhead box-girders, a train–track system coupling model in the frequency domain was established. Two numerical models...

...Xiaoning Wang, PhD; Li Song, MSE; Zhitao Wu, MSE; Peijie Wu, MSE The accuracy of traffic noise prediction models (TNMs) is impaired by affecting factors and system errors. In addition, the traditional traffic noise source cannot be tested as the sound source is generated in the centreline...

...Ali Mansourkhaki, PhD; Majid Haghiri, MSc; Mohamadjavad Berangi, MSc One of the undesirable outcomes of the rapid travel of a large number of vehicles on highways is the high level of noise pollution. Tehran is the most noise-polluted city in Iran, where the contribution of motorcycles to noise...

...Daljeet Singh, ME; Shri Prakash Nigam, PhD; Vishnu Prakash Agrawal, PhD; Maneek Kumar, PhD An urban traffic noise model was developed using a systems approach. This paper presents the urban traffic noise system, which consists of various subsystems – such as road traffic, human, environment...

... of aviation noise, airports, particularly those close to dwellings and communities, have developed a number of noise abatement measures, of which the noise abatement procedures are one of the most widely adopted. Guglielmo Marconi International Airport, in Italy, is a prototypal case of an urban regional...

... noise data were collected from in service flexible pavements for four consecutive years. These data were panel structured, and with a portion of observations missed arbitrarily. A Monte Carlo Markov chain sampling and a multiple imputation algorithm were used to capture the unobserved heterogeneity...

...Francis Cirianni, PhD, CMILT; Giovanni Leonardi, PhD The paper outlines a methodological approach for the quantitative analysis of the level of noise produced on and by transport infrastructure in urban settings. Traffic-related noise is a source of pollution which can cause severe damage...

...M. Frost, BEng, PhD, MPWI; S. Ison, MA, PhD, MCILT When new transport schemes are considered, a key issue is the potential impact of noise. The reaction of people to noise however is both personal and subjective. Whereas all types of new urban transport scheme have noise evaluations, little work...

...G. Watts Traffic noise reduction is an important area of public concern since nearly ten per cent of the population are seriously bothered by this type of noise. The reduction of noise annoyance can be tackled at any stage from generation at the source to the perception by the listener. Three...

...E. J. Allett; R. J. Greer; C. Manning The Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) is a new high-speed rail link between the Channel Tunnel and London. In planning any transportation corridor, what people will see and hear is always at the forefront of residents’ and local authorities’ concerns. Noise...

...S. Phillips Type approval for proprietary thin asphaltic surfacings has recently been introduced in the UK through the Highway Authorities Products Approval Scheme (HAPAS). This scheme includes a noise test that gives a noise classification that can be used for comparing different surfacings...

The conforming design for the viaducts was prepared by KCRC's appointed detailed design consultants. The joint venture...

...A. E. J. Hardy; R. R. K. Jones When measuring the noise and vibration from trains it is necessary first to establish how much data needs to be collected in order to achieve the required level of accuracy. Existing measurement standards tend to concentrate on controlling the train speed...

...C. G. Stanworth; R. M. Taylor From the point of view of noise and vibration, the east–west tunnel under central London is the feature of CrossRail which draws immediate attention. Even at the outset of train service operation there will be some 24 trains per peak hour in each direction passing...
