Noise and Vibration Control in Rail Transportation

Railway transport is the most sustainable transport mode, as it consumes less energy, needs less space and produces less CO2 than any other transport mode. The noise that is carried through the vehicle body mainly affects ride quality, customer experience and structural integrity of the rolling stocks, whereas the vibration that is transmitted from the rails to the supporting structure of the track plays a main role in rapid track degradation and potentially affects the surrounding structures. This book presents a collection of the latest developments in the field. This book contains the contributions by international leaders in the field of railway noise and vibration. The book highlights the practical guidelines for track vibration isolation resulting from the operation of railways. This book will serve as valuable reference to all who have to deal with noise and vibration from railways, whether working in the industry or in consultancy or in academic research.
