High-speed trains have become one of the most important and advanced branches of
intelligent transportation, of which the reliability and safety are still not mature enough for …

Vibration and noise aspects play a relevant role in the lifetime and comfort of urban areas
and their residents. Among the different sources, the one coming from the rail transit system …

This paper is a review of the effect of vehicle characteristics on ground-and track borne-
vibrations from railways. It combines traditional theory with modern thinking and uses a …

There is a great need to develop rail networks over long distances and within cities as more
sustainable transport options. However, noise and vibration are seen as a negative …

Beam on elastic foundation theory is widely employed when studying railway track
behaviour, for applications such as track dynamics, and noise and vibration. At a basic level …

Abstract Model testing in laboratory, as an effective alternative to field measurement,
provides valuable data to understand railway׳ s dynamic behaviors under train moving …

This review paper deals with the dynamic response of road pavements to moving loads on
their surface. The road pavement can be modeled as a beam, a plate, or the top layer of a …

This paper presents the experimental validation of a numerical model for the prediction of
train induced vibrations. The model fully accounts for the dynamic interaction between the …

During homologation tests of the high-speed train (HST) track between Brussels and Paris,
free field vibrations and track response have been measured during the passage of a Thalys …

A popular method used to reduce vibration transmitted from underground railways into
nearby buildings is floating-slab track, whereby a concrete slab supporting the two rails is …
