5 PLAN I - II - III - Introduction : acoustics and Vibrations Principles International Regulations Proposal for Noise and Vibration Limits IV - Noise and Vibrations Computation, Deliverables

6 I - ACOUSTICS & VIBRATIONS PRINCIPLES I - I acoustics A noise source is characterized by its Acoustic Power in Watts and its Directivity Lw = 10 log (W/W0) in decibels W0 = Watts Sound Pressure Level (SPL) Lp = Lw + 10 log (Q/S) in decibels. SPL decrease in free field : point source : 6 decibels per distance doubling. Line source : 3 db per distance doubling.

7 I - ACOUSTICS & VIBRATIONS PRINCIPLES I - I acoustics A weighting Typical SPL at 25m from LRT : 77 db(a) at 25 m and 80 km/h in free field.

14 INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS DUBAI LOCAL ORDER : Maximum noise level change : Day : 07h00 20h00 : Background + 5 db(a) Night : 20h00-07h00 : Background + 2 db(a)

15 INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS EUROPE Directive june 25th 2002 (applicable july 2004) : Lden (day evening night) (annoyance) and Lnight (sleep annoyance) (7h-19h, 19h-23h, 23h-7h) Lden = 10 log 1/24 (12*10^Lday/10 + 4*10^Leve+5/10 + 8*10^Lnight+10/10 ) Lden and Lnight limit values are specified by State members.

16 INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS Indicators and limits in Europe today (new railway lines alone) : Germany Leq(6h-22h)<67 db(a), Leq (22h-6h)<57 db(a) Netherlands Lday < 60 db(a), Lnight < 50 db(a) Italy Leq(6h-22h)<65 db(a), Leq(22h-6h)<55 db(a) France Leq(6h-22h)<65 db(a), Leq (22h-6h)<60 db(a) (TGV -5 db) Switzerland Leq(6h-22h)<68 db(a), Leq (22h-6h)<58 db(a) Osterreich Leq(6h-22h)<68 db(a), Leq (22h-6h)<58 db(a) (simplified) Railway lines renewal (France) : Max level change : + 2 db(a)
