In the last decades, rail dampers had become a common noise abatement measure at several mainline and metro networks. Rolling noise reductions outdoor/indoor up to 4/8 dB had been found. While the beginning of damper application was started with multiple test sections, infrastructure managers had raised installation restrictions from other related technology departments like signaling and communication. This is leading to defined sections where one rail has to remain partially free from dampers or the track has to remain completely free from dampers. These sections become relevant when the damper application is caused by noise tackling action plans. Therefore, the acoustic impact was assessed by a) laboratory test track analysis (partially free) and b) environmental noise prognosis software (completely free). It is shown, that also for a partially free rail, a cancellation of the noise reduction can be expected for single 1/3 octave frequencies. This can be relevant for the overall noise emission. The effect from the completely free rail is much larger. Railway noise mitigation has to consider these results or, if possible, the rail damper technology has to be improved to avoid these restricted sections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
