ACOUSTB has developed VibraSig, a method for calculating railway vibration and structure-borne noise, based on two numerical models (VibraFer, CSTB and MEFISSTO, CSTB). A numerical model in VibraFer is used to define a railway excitation source term. A numerical model in MEFISSTO is used to calculate the vibratory response of the tunnel and the ground up to the building on a cross-section. A statistical building response model is used to estimate structure-borne noise and floor vibration levels. Finally, the method for predicting vibration and structure-borne noise levels is extended to the entire project route, and the results are visualized for each building on a Geographic Information System (GIS).", }
