NOISE CONTROL OF HIGH-SPEED RAILWAYS

Japanese National Railways is devoting efforts to environmental problems--particularly the noise and vibrations caused by Shinkansen trains. Target values have been set by the environmental agency for residential and commercial areas. Noise around elevated structures have been carefully measured. Noise abatement techniques have been utilized and are discussed. Techniques are being developed to minimize transmission of wheel-rail noise and that arising from vibration of structures.
