A procedure has been developed for predicting groundborne noise and vibration caused by rail transportation systems. The primary focus is the estimation of low-level, low-frequency groundborne noise and vibration between 6.3 and 200 Hz in residential and commercial buildings near at-grade and subway track. Two particular features of the method are the use of impact-testing procedures to characterize vibration propagation in soils and the use of 1/3 octave band force densities to represent specific vehicle and track systems. Directions for future research are discussed, including numerical modeling of subway structures and vibration propagation in soils, truck and track dynamics, and propagation of vibration through buildings.
