STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF VIBRATION GENERATED BY ROAD TRAFFIC

The problem of vibration generated by road traffic in Japan has become increasingly a serious problem as the result of the rapid growth of Japanese economy which has created the active circulation of goods and a living environment where the housings are built very close to the road traffic. The aim of this paper is to find out the effective solutions to solve such existing problems by extracting hypothetical factors which are believed to affect the cause of such vibrations. This paper tries to determine the influential factors among such hypotheses through surveys on the actual conditions. As a result of the analysis, it has been proven that the most influential factors in causing vibration are: the number of heavy vehicles and the irregularities of the road-surface followed by the characteristics of the foundation and the surface structures of the road.
