DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE OF LOW VIBRATION SLAB TRACK ON SHARED HIGH-SPEED PASSENGER AND FREIGHT RAILWAY

Impact of High-Speed Passenger Trains on Freight Train Efficiency in Shared Railway Corridors

Influences of Railway Track Geometry Parameters on Ground-Borne Vibration

One of the most important challenges in the development of urban railways network is the effects of railway vibrations on human and adjacent structures. Although various investigations into the sources of railway vibrations have been conducted, very few research works have been reported on the influences of track geometry parameters on the level of vibrations. This is addressed in this resea...

Slab Track Design for High-speed

If the low-maintenance characteristics of slab track on open line are to be retained, great care must be taken to ensure that the subgrade layers are homogenous and capable of bearing the loads imposed [2]. The slabs can be precast or poured on site. The most known tracks with precast slabs are Shinkansen line in Japan and Max Bögl slab track designed in Germany [2], while as examples of the tr...

Developing Exposure-Response Relationships for Annoyance Caused by Vibration from Freight and Passenger Railway Traffic

The aim of this paper is to apply a new categorisation algorithm to an existing database of case studies in order to investigate its effectiveness in sorting unknown train vibration signals into freight and passenger train categories for exposure-response analysis. Relatively little work has been performed on the human response to vibration from railway transportation when compared with respons...

field investigation on vibration behavior of railway track systems

investigations on vibration behaviors of railway track systems were attempted in this research. this was made by conducting a comprehensive field investigation into the free vibration of track systems and response of tracks to train moving loads. in-situ modal analysis was used in a railway track field as an efficient method of investigating dynamic properties of railway track systems. natural ...
