Quiet rails: noise mitigation on Polish railways
Last modified: 2024-04-23
Abstract
The paper concerns the results of research on the use of different types of noise mitigation measures on railway lines. The main goal of the work was to compare the effectiveness of selected methods used in Poland. The best results were observed when a combination of under sleeper pads and rail dampers was used. Additionally, the relationship between noise reduction and train speed was studied.
