The source of wayside noise for the train are the aerodynamic noise, wheel/rail noise, and power unit noise. The major source of railway noise is the wheel/rail noise caused by the interaction between the wheels and rails. The Structure borne noise is mainly a low frequency problem. The train noise and vibration nearby the elevated railway make one specific issue. The microphone array method is used to search sound radiation characteristics of elevated structure to predict the noise propagation from an elevated railway. In this paper, the train noise and structure borne noise by train are measured. From the results, we investigated the effect on the sound absorption tunnel for elevated railway.

The major source of railway noises is rolling noise caused by the interaction of the wheels and rails. This rolling noise is generated by the roughness of the wheel /rail surface on tangent track in the absence of discontinuities such as wheel flats or rail joints. These roughness cause relative vibrations of the wheel and rail at their contact area. The vibrations generated at the contact area are treansmitted through the wheel and rail structures exciting resonances of the wheel and travelling waves in the rail. Then these vibrations radiate noise to the wayside. In this paper we predict the rollingnoise radiated from radial/axial motion of the wheel and vertical/lateral motion of the rail using Remington's analytical model and then compare of the predicted sound pressure and measured one. Although there are some inaccuracy in our prediction. these results show in good agreement between 500 Hz and 3150 Hz.

The major noise source for the conventional train is the rolling noise caused by the interaction of the wheels and rails during the train passage on the tangent track. In order to control the rolling noise, the noise radiated from wheels, rails and sleepers should be analyzed and predicted. In this paper, a prediction method of wheel/rail rolling noise generated by the roughness of the wheel/rail surface is described, where the method is considering the effect of noise radiated by sleepers and the effect of ground. The method is applied to the Korean railway system, and the sound pressure level (SPL) predicted by the proposed method is compared with the measured SPL. Overall. the result shows good agreement between the predicted and measured values.

도시화가 빠른 속도로 진행되고 있는 우리나라에서도 철도에 대한 수송능력의 증대, 고속화등의 사회적 요구에 의하여 철도선로의 고가화가 충분히 예상된다. 그러나 소음문제를 생각할 경우, 고가선로에 있어서는 다른 선로와 달리 열차주행에 의한 전동음(rolling noise)과 더불어 주행열차에 의하여 가진된 고가구조체의 진동소음(이하 고가 구조물음)을 함께 고려하지 않으면 안된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는, 고가철도에서의 소음전파를 예측하기 위하여, 고가구조체로부터의 소음방사를 고려하는 실험적 검토를 하였다. 또한 실험결과를 근거로 하여 고가 구조 물음에 대한 음원모델을 설정하고, 전동음을 포함하는 소음전파 예측의 계산모델을 작성하여, 계산결과와 실측결과와의 대응성에 대하여 검토하였다.

Recently, shared dockless e-scooter usage has rapidly increased, rather than the station-based shared mobility service, because of convenience. This transition leads to new social problems in urban areas such as increased traffic accidents and hindrance of pedestrian environments. In this study, we analyze the usage characteristics of shared e-scooters in Seoul, and identify factors influencing demand for shared e-scooters by developing a negative binomial regression model. As a result, the usage characteristics show that the average trip distance, the average trip duration, and the average trip speed were 1.5km, 9.4min, and 10.3km/h, respectively. Demographic factor, transport facility factors, land use factors, and weather factors have statistically significant impacts on demand for shared e-scooters. The results of this study will be used as basic data for suggesting effective operation strategies for areas with higher shared e-scooter demand and for establishing transport policies for facilitating shared e-scooter usage.

Wheel /rail interaction has been known as a major source of railway noise. In this paper, a low noise wheel structure is developed and its effect on noise reduction is investigated. The developed low noise wheel employees a rubber material inserted into a steel rim or mounted on the wheel surface. Since the low noise wheel has low stiffness and high damping ratio compared to a solid wheel, the measurement results show that it reduces the rolling and squeal noise. It turns out that the proposed wheel could reduce interior noise level by 4∼5dB(A) and vehicle vibration level by 7∼10 dB. Although the proposed structure seems to be promising in noise reduction of railway vehicles, the low noise wheel is to be verified in endurance and cost effect.

In order to obtain basic data for the prediction of railway noise propagation, the noise radiation characteristics (source position, radiation directivity, etc) of trains were measured by using the sound intensity method. The measurements were performed at a side of railway by setting an intensity-probe array. As the measurement results, it was found that rolling noise due to interaction between wheel and rail and motor noise radiation from the lower part of train are dominant. The location of main sound sources can be described as being at the height of 0.1m in the center line of track, and the radiation directivity in the cross section of actually running trains are presented as a dipole source.

철도차량은 중요한 친환경 대중교통 수단으로서 운행 구간이 확장되고 있다. 그러나 철도선로가 거주지역을 통과하여 설치되면서 환경 소음 문제가 야기되고 있으며 이의 저감이 중요한 이슈 중 하나이다. 철도차량 및 궤도에서 발생하는 전동음은 저감해야 할 주요 소음원 중 하나이다. 따라서 철도의 진동 및 소음 관련된 연구현황들에 대해 알아보고 궤도 지지단을 고려한 레일의 진동과 방사 소음 특성을 예측하고 궤도 모니터링 시스템 개발에까지 적용이 가능한 방법들에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
