Evaluation of the vibration impacts in the transport infrastructure environment

Abstract

This paper presents the problem of vibrations generated by the transport infrastructure. Two aspects of influence on the environment are presented: the harmful influence of vibration on people, and effect on engineering objects. Content of work concerns the identification of dynamical influences, planning of studies, building of models, and validation of their parameters. Simulation methods, based on conducting the experimental pilot studies each time, for the purpose of analysis were presented. In this document, particular attention was paid to the identification of vibration’s sources, propagation and evaluation of the vibrations’ impact caused by transport means, and operated transport infrastructure. This paper illustrates steps in the research within the analysis, summarizes the existing evaluation methods, and indicates an effective evaluation way for the study area and transparent interpretation level of dynamic influences.
