Measurement and Evaluation of Freight Train-Induced Ground Vibrations
Abstract With the substantial increase in transportation of goods on railway, the problem of ground-borne vibration induced by freight trains has received increasing interest in the recent years. To learn the vibration characteristic of freight train-induced vibrations and evaluate its vibration impact on human being, in this paper, an in situ experiment was carried out in the suburb of Beijing. The vibrations induced by both freight and passenger trains were considered. Then, a new vibration descriptor was presented to describe the received vibration energy from the passage of trains at sensitive locations. Results show that, the freight train induces obviously larger vibrations in low frequency ranges below 10 Hz and longer vibration duration which is an important factor to the annoyance to residents nearby. Compared to maximum Z-vibration level, vibration exposure level can better describe and evaluate the freight train-induced ground vibrations.
