(author), Wändell, J. (author)The noise produced during a train pass-by originates from several different sources such as propulsion noise, noise from auxiliary equipment, aerodynamic noise and rolling noise. The rolling noise is radiated by the wheels and the track and is excited by the wheel and rail unevenness, usually referred to as roughness. The current TSI Noise...article 2018

Dittrich, M.G. (author), Bosshaart, C. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author)As part of a recent renovation of the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam, improvements were made to reduce impact noise caused by trams passing a series of rai! joints. The bridge inciudes several different sections inciuding a bascule bridge and is in an inner city tocation with new adjacent apartment buildings. At request of public transport company...conference paper 2015

Dittrich, M.G. (author), de Roo, F. (author), Eisses, R.R. (author)An exploratory study bas been undertaken to put into perspective future impact of road and railway noise until 2050 in The Netherlands, taking into account potential economic and mobitity growth, noise policy and legislation, demography and technical progress. Estimates were made of average noise levels and numbers of annoyed and sleep disturbed...conference paper 2015

Dittrich, M.G. (author)Track decay rates are measured to characterize the track dynamics for railway noise type testing, but also for other purposes in relation to railway noise. They are often measured statically using hammer response functions on unloaded track, but can also be derived from rail vibrations on loaded track during a train pass-by. There are several...conference paper 2012

van Gerven, P.W.M. (author), Vos, H. (author), van Boxtel, M.P.J. (author), Janssen, S.A. (author), Miedema, H.M.E. (author)Curvilinear effects of age on self-reported annoyance from environmental noise were investigated in a pooled international and a Dutch sample of in total 62,983 individuals aged between 15 and 102 years. All respondents were frequently exposed to varying levels of transportation noise (i.e., aircraft, road traffic, and railway noise). Results...article 2009

Miedema, H.M.E. (author), Instituut voor Ruimtelijke Organisatie TNO (author)Relationships between exposure to noise [metric: day-night level (DNL) or day-evening-night level (DENL)] from a single source (aircraft, road traffic, or railways) and annoyance based on a large international dataset have been published earlier. Also for stationary sources relationships have been assessed. Here the annoyance equivalents model...article 2004

Dittrich, M.G. (author), Janssens, M.H.A. (author), Technisch Physische Dienst TNO - TH (author)Some of the issues related to railway noise type testing are discussed and potential improvements to existing procedures are put forward. New and improved methods that also go beyond the scope of type testing are presented that help to characterize and analyze rolling noise more accurately. These methods are indirect measurement of total wheel...article 2000
