Ground-borne noise and vibration from railway lines can cause human distress/annoyance,
and also negatively affect real estate property values. Therefore this paper analyses a …

This paper reviews, synthesises and benchmarks new understandings relating to railway
vibrations. Firstly, the effect of vibrations on passenger comfort is evaluated, followed by its …

The noise impact of the whole railway infrastructure was characterized in the urban
environment of Pisa, Italy. The ordinary train transits were considered, nevertheless it was …

The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art on
railway-induced ground vibration. The governing physical mechanisms, prediction methods …

The mandate of the International Commission on Biological Effects of Noise (ICBEN) is to
promote a high level of scientific research concerning all aspects of noise-induced effects on …

This paper evaluates the relative contribution of vibration and noise from railway on
physiological sleep outcomes. Vibration from railway freight often accompanies airborne …

The robust assessment of noise annoyance is of key importance given that it is the most
prevalent community response in populations exposed to environmental noise. In 1993, the …

The effects of noise and vibration on annoyance in buildings during the passage of a nearby
high-speed train have been investigated in a laboratory experiment with recorded train …

A subjective and physical categorization of an ambient sound is the first step to evaluate the
soundscape and provides a basis for designing or adapting this ambient sound to match …

As a sustainable mode of metro-development strategy, transit-oriented development (TOD)
is rapidly growing to finance the transport infrastructure investment. The main negative …
