The time of day when vibration occurs is considered as a factor influencing the human response to vibration. The aim of the present paper is to identify the times of day during which railway vibration causes the greatest annoyance, to measure the differences between annoyance responses for different time periods and to obtain estimates of the time of day penalties. This was achieved using data from case studies comprised of face-to-face interviews and internal vibration measurements (N=755…

Annoyance from railway vibration in residential environments: factors of importance when considering exposure-response relationships
Railway induced vibration is an important source of annoyance in residential environments. Annoyance increases with vibration magnitude. However, these correlations between annoyance and physical…
Developing exposure-response relationships for annoyance caused by vibration from freight and passenger railway traffic
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…
Human response to vibration from passenger and freight railway traffic in residential
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…
Exposure-response relationships for annoyance due to freight and passenger railway vibration exposure in residential environments.
TLDR
The results indicate that people are able to distinguish between freight and passenger railway vibration, and that the annoyance response due to freight railway vibration is significantly higher than that due to passenger railway vibrations, even for equal levels of exposure.
HUMAN RESPONSE TO VIBRATION FROM PASSEN- GER AND FREIGHT RAILWAY TRAFFIC IN RESIDEN- TIAL ENVIRONMENTS
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…
Effect of situational, attitudinal and demographic factors on railway vibration annoyance in residential areas.
TLDR
It was found that annoyance scores were strongly influenced by two attitudinal factors: Concern of property damage and expectations about future levels of vibration, which indicate that future railway vibration policies and regulations focusing on community impact need to consider additional factors for an optimal assessment of railway effects on residential environments.
Annoyance in Response to Vibrations from Railways
TLDR
Heavier, slower moving locomotives, in the form of diesel and freight trains, appear to be the source of annoyance at distances further from the railway compared to passenger and fast trains, which has implications for property, transport, and infrastructure planning.
Guidance for new policy developments on railway noise and vibration
Combined effect of noise and vibration produced by high-speed trains on annoyance in buildings.
TLDR
Two classical models of total annoyance due to combined noise sources (maximum of the single source annoyance or the integration of individual annoyance ratings) provided useful predictions of the total annoyance caused by simultaneous noise and vibration.
The Impact of Train Operation Time with Ground Borne Vibration Induced by Railway Traffic
Ground-borne vibration caused by rail transport has detrimental effects on residential areas along the railway tracks. The residents who are subjected to daily ground-borne vibration may also…

Human response to vibration in residential environments.
TLDR
The main aim of this study was to derive exposure-response relationships for annoyance due to vibration from environmental sources, and use of relevant frequency weightings was found to improve correlation between vibration exposure and annoyance.
Research into the human response to vibration from railways in residential environments
This paper describes progress in research being carried out at the University of Salford to develop a method by which human annoyance to vibration in residential environments can be assessed. The…
Effects of exposure to railway noise: A comparison between areas with and without vibration
Abstract This paper presents some of the results of field investigations on effects of exposure to noise and vibration from railway traffic. Effects on annoyance, sleep disturbances and psycho-social…
Effects of railway noise and vibrations on sleep: experimental studies within the Swedish research program TVANE
This paper describes a laboratory sleep study with an exposure situation corresponding to a dwelling close to a railway. Both noise and bed vibrations were generated for passing trains, and the sleep…
Effects of railway noise and vibration in combination : field and laboratory studies
Most socio-acoustic surveys show that railway noise causes less general annoyance than road traffic and aircraft noise. While speech interference is recognized as a dominating effect of railway…
VIBRATION IN DWELLINGS FROM ROAD AND RAIL TRAFFIC - PART II: EXPOSURE-EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS BASED ON ORDINAL LOGIT AND LOGISTIC REGRESSION MODELS
Sleep disturbances caused by vibrations from heavy road traffic.
TLDR
It could be concluded that vibration exposure levels near the recommendation made in ISO-standard 2631 for the awake state disturb sleep in man.
Annoyance from transportation noise: relationships with exposure metrics DNL and DENL and their confidence intervals.
TLDR
Better estimates of the confidence intervals due to the improved model of the relationship between annoyance and noise exposure are provided, which is easier to use for practical calculations than the model itself.
