Experiments were carried out in an anechoic chamber using a 1 : 20 scale model of a high-speed train to determine the insertion loss of various forms of track-side noise barrier. All the barriers investigated had the upper edge level with the bottom of the train windows and were positioned as close

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 sound level of a train crossing a steel railway bridge is usually about 10 dB higher than on plain track. In the Netherlands there are many such bridges which, for practical reasons, cannot be replaced by more intrinsically quiet concrete bridges. A computational model is described for the estim

Due to Swiss environmental legislation, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) has to minimize the negative influences of vibration in buildings near railways. For every newly constructed or extended railway track, costly measurements and calculations have to be undertaken to assess future immissions of v
