Guidance document for the evaluation of railway vibration

Woodcock, JS; Peris, E; Moorhouse, AT; Waddington, DC

Abstract

The objective of this deliverable is to provide guidance on the evaluation of human response to vibration from railways in residential environments. The deliverable outlines the currently available methods for the evaluation of disturbance from railway-induced vibration in residential environments. In addition, the deliverable presents the current state of the art in the human response to whole body vibration in the ranges of frequency and amplitude relevant to railway-induced vibration. The deliverable is intended to provide an extension to the currently available body of guidance in light of the current state of the art.
