Abstract

Exposure to transport noise is one of the greatest stress factors for populations living close to railway lines, affecting their health and well-being. The noise generated by rail traffic has several origins and the factors that influence it concern to the running speed, the track type and the track and rolling stock defects. This article aims to characterize the noise generated by light railway traffic in the Porto metropolitan region. Several measurements were performed in places with different track characteristics and traffic conditions. The final aim is to understand and characterize how the different types of track that make up the network contribute to this phenomenon.
