The influence of model assumptions in a hybrid prediction tool for railway induced vibration

The influence of model assumptions in a hybrid prediction tool for railway induced vibration
The influence of model assumptions in a hybrid prediction tool for railway induced vibration
Within the SILVARSTAR project, a user-friendly frequency-based hybrid prediction tool is developed to assess the environmental impact of railway induced vibration. This will be implemented in the existing noise mapping software IMMI. The vibration level in a building in each frequency band is
expressed as the product of source, propagation and receiver terms. A hybrid approach is used that combines experimental data with numerical predictions, providing increased flexibility and applicability. The train and track properties can be selected from a database or as numerical values. The user can select soil impedance and transfer functions from a database, pre-computed for a wide
range of parameters with the MOTIV and TRAFFIC models. An experimental database of force densities, transfer functions, free field vibration and input parameters is also integrated into the new tool. The building response is estimated by means of empirical correction factors. Assumptions within
the modelling approach can influence the prediction accuracy and the present paper aims to quantify these. We focus on the influence of train speed and soil properties on the compliance of the track-soil system and the free field response.

Abstract

Within the SILVARSTAR project, a user-friendly frequency-based hybrid prediction tool is developed to assess the environmental impact of railway induced vibration. This will be implemented in the existing noise mapping software IMMI. The vibration level in a building in each frequency band is
expressed as the product of source, propagation and receiver terms. A hybrid approach is used that combines experimental data with numerical predictions, providing increased flexibility and applicability. The train and track properties can be selected from a database or as numerical values. The user can select soil impedance and transfer functions from a database, pre-computed for a wide
range of parameters with the MOTIV and TRAFFIC models. An experimental database of force densities, transfer functions, free field vibration and input parameters is also integrated into the new tool. The building response is estimated by means of empirical correction factors. Assumptions within
the modelling approach can influence the prediction accuracy and the present paper aims to quantify these. We focus on the influence of train speed and soil properties on the compliance of the track-soil system and the free field response.
