THE EXTERNAL SOUND LEVEL OF RAILBOUND TRANSPORT

AUSSENGERAEUSCH VON SCHIENENFAHRZEUGEN

In past years comprehensive studies have been carried out regarding the external sound level of railbound transport. These studies were based on international measurement regulations observed by both European and non-European rail transport authorities. The report discusses the origin of noise nuisance caused by railbound transport and takes into consideration the vehicle itself, the superstructure and formation level of the railway track and the immediate location of the track section in question. In conclusion, some indications are given as to possible and in some instances already implemented means of relieving noise nuisance caused by railbound transport. /TRRL/
