Analysis of Noise Emissions by Trains in Proximity of a Railway Station

摘要

In this paper we consider noise impact of train transits in the framework of low velocity regimes, especially in proximity of a railway station, from the point of view of environmental impact observed in the neighbourhood of the station. In particular we will analyze such a setting by means of a predictive software confronting the algorithmic simulations with the experimental results obtained from noise measurements detected on a building facade, close to a railway station at night time. In order to opportunely model train transits and the related auxiliary phenomena with a realistic description, we consider different types of trains and of running conditions. The whole predictive scheme is relied on the timetable of train departures and arrivals of the Battipaglia station considered during a 24h working time.
