โฆ Synopsis
Some of the issues related to railway noise type testing are discussed and potential improvements to existing procedures are put forward. New and improved methods that also go beyond the scope of type testing are presented that help to characterize and analyze rolling noise more accurately. These methods are indirect measurement of total wheel}rail roughness, the use of an antenna for source location, and two new methods for separation of vehicle and track noise. Most of the work presented has been performed in the METARAIL project, which is focused on developing improved methods for type testing, monitoring and diagnostic methods for railway pass-by noise.

The existing Nordic Prediction Method for Railway Noise is more than 10 years old [1]. It was developed as a manual method for fairly simple geometries. During 1993-4 it became clear that a complete revision was necessary. The method is primarily intended to serve as a planning tool. It can be used
The requirements to harmonize the limits for noise emission for the railway systems within Europe demands improvements of the existing joint measurement standards (ISO 3095 and CEN/TC 256).

Due to environmental impact regulations there is a demand for methods and tools to determine noise reception levels near railway lines. Currently, a wide variety of methods and tools is available. Fast computers now enable us to develop powerful tools that combine simpli"ed prediction methods with G
