Abstract

Approximate empirical equations obtained by measuring overall noise levels at different distances have been used to evaluate environmental influence of the railway noise though the accurate prediction of noise levels is important. In this paper, a noise prediction model considering the frequency characteristics of noise sources and propagation was suggested to improve the accuracy of noise prediction. The railway noise source was assorted into track, wheel, traction and aerodynamic components and they were characterized with the source strength and speed coefficient at each octave-band frequency. Correction terms for the acoustic roughness and the track/bridge condition were introduced. The sound attenuation from a source to a receiver was calculated taking account of the geometrical divergence, atmospheric absorption, ground effect, diffraction at obstacles and directivity of source by applying ISO 9613-2. For obtaining the source strength and speed coefficients, the results of rolling noise model, numerical analysis and measurements of pass-by noise were analyzed. We compared the predicted and measured noise levels in various vehicles and tracks, and verified the accuracy of the present model. It is found that the present model gives less error than the conventional one, so that it can be applied to make the accurate prediction of railway noise effect and establish its countermeasures efficiently.

철도 소음의 환경영향평가 업무에 있어서 소음도에 대한 정확한 예측이 중요하지만, 국내에서는 overall 소음도의 거리별 측정을 통한 경험식이 근사적으로 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 소음원과 소음전파의 주파수 특성을 고려하여 철도 소음의 예측 정확도를 향상할 수 있는 예측 모델을 제안하였다. 먼저 철도 소음원을 궤도(레일 및 침목), 차륜, 동력, 공력 성분으로 구분하여 각각의 옥타브 밴드 주파수별 음향파워와 속도계수를 정의하고 음향 조도와 궤도/교량 특성을 반영할 수 있는 보정항을 도입하였다. 소음원에서 수음점까지의 전파 특성은 ISO 9613-2를 적용하여 기하학적 확산, 대기 흡음, 지면 효과, 장애물의 회절에 따른 감쇠 및 지향특성을 반영하여 계산하였다. 소음원 음향파워와 지향인자를 추정하기 위하여 전동 소음원 해석 모델 및 수치해석 결과와 통과 소음도 측정값을 이용하였다. 본 철도 소음 예측 모델을 이용하여 여러 철도 차량과 궤도 유형에 따라서 예측한 소음도를 측정값과 비교하여 정확도를 검증하였으며 기존 예측 모델보다 비교적 정확한 예측이 가능하였다. 따라서 본 결과는 철도 환경 소음의 정확한 영향 예측과 효율적인 소음 저감 대책 수립에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
