“…Meanwhile, the difference in the prevalence of noise and vibration annoyances suggests that vibration causes greater annoyance in inhabitants than noise. This tendency was consistent with the greater effect of vibration exposure than noise exposure on the combined annoyance due to noise and vibration from the Tokaido Shinkansen railway [ 1 ].…”

“…Yokoshima et al [ 1 ] reported measurements of building vibrations induced by the Shinkansen railway. For vertical vibrations, Shinkansen railway-induced vibrations slightly increased when transmitted to wooden detached houses and decreased when transmitted to reinforced concrete apartment buildings.…”

“…Yano et al [ 2 ] conducted a social survey and noise and vibration measurement along the Sanyo Shinkansen line and suggested the presence of an interaction between noise and vibration from the Shinkansen railway. Yokoshima et al [ 1 ] found that annoyance due to noise and vibration from the Shinkansen railway increased with the associated vibration and noise in detached houses, not in apartments. Based on these results, they introduced the concept of “combined annoyance” due to noise and vibration, and clarified the equivalent effect of each exposure on the combined annoyance [ 4 ].…”

The Shinkansen super-express railway system in Japan has greatly increased its capacity and has expanded nationwide. However, many inhabitants in areas along the railways have been disturbed by noise and ground vibration from the trains. Additionally, the Shinkansen railway emits a higher level of ground vibration than conventional railways at the same noise level. These findings imply that building vibrations affect living environments as significantly as the associated noise. Therefore, it is imperative to quantify the effects of noise and vibration exposures on each annoyance under simultaneous exposure. We performed a secondary analysis using individual datasets of exposure and community response associated with Shinkansen railway noise and vibration. The data consisted of six socio-acoustic surveys, which were conducted separately over the last 20 years in Japan. Applying a logistic regression analysis to the datasets, we confirmed the combined effects of vibration/noise exposure on noise/vibration annoyance. Moreover, we proposed a representative relationship between noise and vibration exposures, and the prevalence of each annoyance associated with the Shinkansen railway.

“…Likewise, it can be thought that residents living in detached houses along Shinkansen railways are exposed to larger building vibrations than those along conventional railways or trunk roads. In terms of the effect of vibrations on noise annoyance under such situations, Yokoshima and Tamura clarified the combined effect of vertical ground-borne vibration on noise annoyance only in detached houses along Shinkansen railways [15]. Moreover, Yokoshima et al confirmed the significantly increasing effect of vertical ground-borne vibration on noise annoyance, aggregating Japanese micro-data including annoyance and exposure associated with each of noise and vibration [40].…”

This paper focuses on clarifying the relationship between noise exposure and the prevalence of highly annoyed people due to transportation noise in Japan. The authors accumulated 34 datasets, which were provided by Socio-Acoustic Survey Data Archive and derived from the other surveys conducted in Japan. All the datasets include the following micro-data: demographic factors, exposure, and annoyance data associated with specific noise sources. We performed secondary analyses using micro-data and established the relationships between noise exposure (Lden) and the percentage of highly annoyed people (%HA) for the following noise source: road traffic, conventional railway, Shinkansen railway, civil aircraft, and military aircraft noises. Among the five transportation noises, %HA for the military aircraft noise is the highest, followed by civil aircraft noise and Shinkansen railway noise. The %HA for conventional railway noise was higher than that for road traffic noise. To validate the representativeness of the exposure–response curves, we have discussed factors affecting the difference in annoyance. In addition, comparing the Japanese relationship with that shown in the “Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region,” we revealed that Japanese annoyance is higher than the WHO-reported annoyance.

“…Train-induced bridge vibrations will propagate to the subsoil via the bearings, piers, and foundations and then spread to the surroundings, causing the vibration of surrounding ground, the secondary vibration of adjacent buildings, and its associated structural noise. Since most elevated rail lines close to or even run across the densely populated areas and high-tech industrial parks in cities, the vibration will not only affect the structural safety of the adjacent ancient buildings and people's normal life, but also may have a serious impact on the normal use of that vibration-sensitive high precision instruments in the nearby hospitals, schools, and research institutions [1]. Mitigating at the vibration source and along the vibration propagation path are two major ways to circumvent such train-induced vibrations problem [2].…”

A novel antivibration bearing is developed to reduce the train-induced vibrations for urban rail transit viaduct. It adopts four high-damping thick rubber blocks stacking slantingly to reduce the vibration and provide large lateral stiffness. But the existing stiffness calculation method of laminated rubber bearing aimed at horizontal seismic isolation is unsuitable for thick rubber bearing designed for vertical vibration reduction. First, the stiffness correction method has been proposed based on the characteristics of the novel bearing. Second, to validate the design method, mechanical property tests are performed on a specimen of the novel bearing with design frequency at 8 Hz and with 3500 kN bearing capacity. Third, damping effects of the novel bearing are investigated through impulse vibration tests on scaled models. Results show that the mechanical property of the novel bearing can satisfy the engineering demand, and the proposed method for calculating the stiffness agrees well with the test results. The overall insertion loss of the novel bearing is 13.49 dB which is 5.32 dB larger than that of steel bearing, showing that the novel bearing is very promising to be used in the field to mitigate train-induced vibrations.
