Railway applications - Acoustics - Measurement of source terms for environmental noise calculations
This document addresses the measurement of source terms for environmental noise calculation for rail traffic (including light rail, such as trams, metros, etc.). It is applicable to the measurement of in-service trains on operational tracks.
It is not applicable to type acceptance testing of rolling-stock or tracks, or to derive source terms for time domain models.
The following rail traffic noise source types are in the scope:
- rolling noise;
- traction and equipment noise;
- aerodynamic noise;
- impact noise (e.g. rail joints, switch and crossings, wheel flats);
- braking noise;
- bridge noise;
- squeal noise.
Noise from rail vehicles at standstill, such as stationary engine idling and auxiliary equipment at yards and stations, is covered by EN ISO 3095:2013 for measurement procedures and operating conditions, and by EN ISO 3740:2019 and EN ISO 3744 for the determination of sound power. It is therefore not in the scope of this document.
The calculation of the propagation of sound is part of generally standardized propagation models which are not addressed in this document.
Noise from fixed installations (e.g. stations, depots, electricity sub-stations) is not in the scope of this document.
Source terms are specific to a vehicle and track type. The scope includes measurement procedures and conditions and sampling requirements.
Bahnanwendungen - Akustik - Messung der Quellterme für Umgebungslärmberechnungen
Applications ferroviaires - Acoustique - Mesurage des termes sources pour le calcul du bruit en environnement
Le présent document spécifie les procédures de mesure des termes sources afin de calculer le bruit en environnement généré par le trafic ferroviaire (y compris celui généré par la circulation des véhicules légers comme les tramways, métros, etc.). Il s'applique aux mesurages effectués sur les trains en service circulant sur voies en exploitation.
Il ne s'applique pas aux essais d'homologation des matériels roulants ou des voies ni à la détermination de termes sources pour les modèles dans le domaine temporel.
Le domaine d'application couvre les types suivants de sources de bruit de trafic ferroviaire :
- le bruit de roulement ;
- le bruit de traction et le bruit généré par les équipements ;
- le bruit aérodynamique ;
- le bruit d'impact (joints de rail, appareils de voie, méplats de roue, par exemple) ;
- le bruit de freinage ;
- le bruit des ponts ;
- le bruit de crissement.
Le bruit généré par les véhicules ferroviaires à l'arrêt, comme le bruit généré par le moteur au ralenti et par les auxiliaires dans les gares de triage et les gares ferroviaires, est couvert par l'EN ISO 3095:2013 (procédures de mesure et conditions d'exploitation) et par l'EN ISO 3740:2019 et l'EN ISO 3744 (détermination des niveaux de puissance acoustique). Il ne relève donc pas du domaine d'application du présent document.
Le calcul de la propagation du son relève des modèles de propagation généralement normalisés, qui ne sont pas couverts par le présent document.
Le bruit généré par les installations fixes (gares, dépôts, postes d'alimentation électrique, par exemple) ne relève pas du domaine d'application du présent document.
Les termes sources sont spécifiques à un type de véhicule et un type de voie donnés. Le domaine d'application couvre les procédures et les conditions de mesurage, ainsi que les exigences relatives à l'échantillonnage.

Introduction
In Europe various prediction methods for environmental noise exist. For noise mapping and planning of
railway lines, the prediction methods are enshrined in national or European legislation such as Directive
2015/996/EU (CNOSSOS). An integral aspect to ensure realistic results is to use valid input data.
Environmental noise prediction models consist of traffic noise source terms and a propagati
