Effect of attitudinal, situational and demographic factors on annoyance due to environmental vibration and noise from construction of a light rapid transit system (2016)
Journal Article
rapid transit system. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 13(12), 1237. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph13121237

The aim of this paper is to determine what non-exposure factors influence the relationship
between vibration and noise exposure from the construction of a Light Rapid Transit (LRT) system
and the annoyance of nearby residents. Noise and vibration f... Read More about Effect of attitudinal, situational and demographic factors on annoyance due to environmental vibration and noise from construction of a light rapid transit system.

Quantification of the effects of audible rattle and source type on the human response to environmental vibration (2016)
Journal Article
Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Peris, E., Sharp, C., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. (2016). Quantification of the effects of audible rattle and source type on the human response to environmental vibration. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 139(1225), 1225-1234. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4944563

The present research quantifies the influence of source type and the presence of audible vibration-induced rattle on annoyance caused by vibration in residential environments. The sources of vibration considered are railway and the construction of a...

Human annoyance, acceptability and concern as responses to vibration from the construction of light rapid transit lines in residential environments (2016)
Journal Article
rapid transit lines in residential environments. Science of the Total Environment, 568, 1308-1314. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.01.121

The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of different self-reported measures for assessing the human response to environmental vibration from the construction of an urban LRT (Light Rapid Transit) system. The human response to environmental st...

Guidance for new policy developments on railway noise and vibration (2016)
Journal Article
and vibration. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 85, 76-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.2016.01.004

Noise and vibration are two of the main problems associated with railways in residential
areas. To ensure quality of life and well-being of inhabitants living in the vicinity of railway
paths, it is important to evaluate, understand, control and re... Read More about Guidance for new policy developments on railway noise and vibration.
