Over the past decades, the improvement of the quality of buildings regarding sound
insulation has made it possible to reduce noise exposure. But this improvement has led to …

Abstract The “two-staged Structural Equation Modeling-Artificial Neural Network” approach
was used in this study to assess the annoyance caused by traffic noise in 158 people. The …

With the rapid development of high-speed rail worldwide, particularly in China, which has
the longest such network, incidents of its noise's adverse effects have vastly increased. A …

Comparing with the straight track, the curved track accounts for a large proportion with the
rapid development of metro networks. The train-induced horizontal vibrations, which can't be …

Train movements generate oscillations that are transmitted as waves through the track
support system into its surroundings. The vibration waves propagate through the soil layers …

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

Rail transport is a key stepping stone in the EU's transport policy and is pinpointed for
investment and growth over the coming decades. This expanding infrastructure implies …

This paper presents the main findings of a field survey conducted in the United Kingdom into
the human response to vibration in residential environments. The main aim of this study was …

The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the research concerning human response
to vibration conducted in the EU FP7 CargoVibes project. The European Union-funded …

The Shinkansen super-express railway system in Japan has greatly increased its capacity
and has expanded nationwide. However, many inhabitants in areas along the railways have …
