Measurement of ground-to-building frequency response functions for assessment of human exposure to vibration from railway vibration (2012)
Presentation / Conference
from railway vibration. Presented at International Conference on Noise and Vibration Engineering 2012, Leuven, Belgium

The University of Salford has derived exposure-response relationships for vibration caused by railway construction and operation in residential environments. The exposure assessment methodology for almost 1000 case studies has its key factor in the m...

On the assessment of the human exposure from vibration caused by railway construction (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Sica, G., Woodcock, J., Peris, E., Moorhouse, A., Waddington, D., & Peris, E. (2012, August). On the assessment of the human exposure from vibration caused by railway construction. Presented at Internoise 2012, New York

When constructing large infrastructure, such as railways, close to living environments it is important to know how residents respond to construction vibration. In this framework, the University of Salford, within the project “Human response to vibrat... Read More about On the assessment of the human exposure from vibration caused by railway construction.

Attitudinal factors as determinants of railway vibration annoyance (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Peris, E., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Sharp, C., Moorhouse, A., Waddington, D., & Peris, E. (2012, August). Attitudinal factors as determinants of railway vibration annoyance. Presented at Internoise 2012, New York

The aim of this paper is to identify and understand the role of the attitudinal factors involved in annoyance reported due to railway vibration. Many non-acoustical factors have been identified with various degrees of association with annoyance due t... Read More about Attitudinal factors as determinants of railway vibration annoyance.

Human response to vibration from passenger and freight railway traffic in residential environments (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Woodcock, J., Sharp, C., Sica, G., Peris, E., Moorhouse, A., Waddington, D., & Peris, E. (2012, July). Human response to vibration from passenger and freight railway traffic in residential environments. Presented at ICSV19, Vilnius, Lithuania

Exposure-response relationships for the human response to vibration and noise from railway activities in residential environments have been derived recently in the UK. These relationships are the outcome of a large scale field study funded by Defra (...

Developing exposure-response relationships for annoyance caused by vibration from freight and passenger railway traffic (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Sharp, C., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Peris, E., Waddington, D., & Moorhouse, A. (2012, June). Developing exposure-response relationships for annoyance caused by vibration from freight and passenger railway traffic. Presented at Euronoise 2012, Prague

The aim of this paper is to apply a new categorisation algorithm to an existing database of case stud- ies in order to investigate its effectiveness in sorting unknown train vibration signals into freight and passenger train categories for exposure-r...

Two algorithms for the sorting of unknown train vibration signals into freight and passenger train categories (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Sharp, C., Waddington, D., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Peris, E., & Moorhouse, A. (2012, April). Two algorithms for the sorting of unknown train vibration signals into freight and passenger train categories. Presented at Acoustics 2012 Nantes Conference, Nantes, France

The human response to railway noise has been well researched; however, there is a need to further research the human response to railway vibration, freight in particular. To facilitate this, two algorithms have been constructed with the aim of sortin...
