COMPUTER-ASSISTED PLANNING FOR RAIL TRANSIT NOISE CONTROL

This paper describes a computer assisted methodology for planning rail system noise control. Noise control usually involves several sequential stages of planning and design. At each stage, interactions with other design factors are clarified, the number of design options is usually reduced, and the level of detail is increased for analysis of costs and performance. In contrast with highway planning, urban rail system planners and managers can control a very wide range of system design elements, e.g. both on vehicle and guideway.
