dc.description.abstract | Environmental noise is an important issue causing one of the most common public com-<BR>plaints in Germany and within the EU. Noise causes health threats, like cardiovascular ef-<BR>fects and cognitive impairment and has an enormous negative economic impact. The most<BR>important source for rail noise is freight trains that operate around the clock. The enormous<BR>ecological "Achilles' heel" of railway traffic is the noise. Especially during the nights, the<BR>noise impairment is up to 25 dB(A) above the threshold, which is to be aspired in terms of a<BR>precautious health protection of the people. Noise is of high relevance with respect to any<BR>expansion, upgrade or construction measures of railway infrastructure. Therefore, it is agreed<BR>to enlarge noise protection measures to a wide degree. There are a number of technical<BR>measures available, e.g. retrofitting of the freight wagons to alternative brake systems.<BR>Moreover, legal measures like the TSI Noise exist. This Noise Technical Specification for<BR>Interoperability constitutes general requirements for the transnational railway traffic in Eu-<BR>rope. The presentation gives an overview on these technical and legal measures to efficiently<P>abate railway noise in Germany. Quelle: http://iiav.org | en |
