COMPARISON OF SPECIFIC VALUES OF NOISE EMISSION CAUSED BY ROAD, RAILWAY AND COMBINED CARGO TRANSPORT PROCESS

Abstract

The aim of this research was the comparison of noise emission of the two continental branches giving the greatest transporting achievement: the road and the railway transporting. Examinations of noise emission and noise load have been made recently in great numbers on the fields of certain branches, firstly for the determination of the occuring noise and for the establishing of the expected protecting steps. The aim of the measurements and examinations was the complex evaluation of the noise effects of road and railway cargo transport, taking the transporting achievements into consideration, since only vehicles and vehicle processes have been examined so far. Not only the fact that railway produces the same transporting achievements with small noise trauma is supposed to be proved but the different road and railway vehicles are analysed, what is more, those vehicles which are consisted of these both, what type of noise load can make. On the base of the measuring results those types of road and railway vehicles and vehicle combinations have been shown which are appropriate for the smallest noise-load. Over the evaluation of the present Hungarian situation the results and methods of the comparison can be used well during the development of road-railway combined cargo transport for creating new technological and technical, environmental protecting solutions.
