OVERHEAD URBAN-SUBURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMS. NOISE FACTOR AND THE REACTION OF LOCAL RESIDENTS

NAHVERKEHRSSYSTEME IN HOCHLAGE. GERAEUSCHSITUATION UND DEREN BEURTEILUNG DURCH DIE ANLIEGER

For reasons of security, high commercial speed and popularity, an effort is always made to put short distance railway passenger traffic on track without crossings. In urban areas an uninterrupted track can only exist in a tunnel or on an overhead bridge support system. The overhead line is cheaper but could have adverse effects on the environment and the inhabitants because of the greater noise level. The reactions of residents to the overhead railway are studied here: how the noise nuisance affects them, how they judge it and what factors influence their judgment.
