| Abstract: | Noise and vibration assessments are key elements of the environmental
impact assessment studies of mass transit projects. Although the technological
innovations associated with operation of mass rapid transit systems (MRTS) play
a vital role in improving transport facility in Delhi city, yet to gain
complete acceptability among the commuters, their operation should not cause
additional noise and vibration problems in immediate vicinity. The present work
reviews the international noise standards proposed for transit trains noise and
investigates the noise impact assessment of elevated metro rail corridor in Delhi city. The
cumulative accentuated ambient noise levels due to operation of elevated metro
trains in areas based on their traffic density is analyzed. |
