Abstract
The paper presents various ways of protection from traffic noise used in railway infrastructure in Poland. The sources of noise in rail and tram transport were discussed. Also commonly found solutions on the railway network were analyzed such as noise barriers and rail dampers. Modern tram surfaces have been presented as one of the noise protection methods in the tram infrastructure. In the tram infrastructure a noise protection method was presented in the form of tram track lubricators on sharp curves. In addition, the effectiveness of noise protection methods was assessed on the basis of tests and research.
Highlights
IntroductionWhenever we go to work or spend time with a family sounds and music are present
These days we are virtually overloaded by sounds
The methods of noise protection or reduction in rail and tram infrastructure that were discussed in previous sections have been tested in many field studies
Summary
Whenever we go to work or spend time with a family sounds and music are present. It could be our favorite music, sounds from commercials or traffic noise that is mainly produced by vehicles. It wouldn’t be such a problem when these sounds weren’t noisy and hard to bear for the average human being. Prolonged exposure can cause hearing impairment, sleep disturbance and poor concentration. That is why it can be regarded as one of the most important public health issue
