Measurement of ground-to-building frequency response functions for assessment of human exposure to vibration from railway vibration (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...

Human response to vibration in residential environments (NANR209), executive summary (2012)
Report

The aim of the Defra-funded project NANR209 ‘Human response to vibration in residential environments’ was to develop exposure-response relationships for vibration experienced in residential environments from sources outside of the residents’ control....

Attitudinal factors as determinants of railway vibration annoyance (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

On the assessment of the human exposure from vibration caused by railway construction (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

Human response to vibration from passenger and freight railway traffic in residential environments (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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 (...

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...
