A review on different regulation for the measurement of transport noise and vibration

Transport noise and vibration have a negative influence on the environment, human health, and quality of life. The measurement and analysis of transport noise and vibration are required by the regulations and guidelines that various countries have set in order to manage and mitigate these effects. This review paper provides an overview of the requirements for the measurement and analysis of vibration and noise in transportation in different countries. The paper examines the measurement and analysis parameters, methods, and standards used in the United States, Europe, Australia and Japan. The review finds that although the requirements for measurement and analysis vary between countries, there are common parameters and methods used worldwide, such as sound pressure level and frequency spectrum measurements, noise and vibration impact assessment, prediction, and control measures. A comprehensive understanding of the measurement and analysis requirements for transport noise and vibration in different countries is essential for ensuring compliance with regulations, mitigating adverse impacts, and promoting sustainable transport development.
