Abstract

Rail traffic is increasing following policy recommendations for a sustainable transportation model. However, the health effects of rail traffic vibration on residents living close to railways remain underexplored. We aimed to investigate the relationships between rail traffic vibration and vibration annoyance from different types of trains and to explore the influence of railway noise on these relationships. The study population (N = 7280) was randomly selected from adults living within 1 km of a trafficked railway in Sweden. Survey data were combined with modelled rail traffic vibration and noise. A cross-sectional design and logistic regression analysis were used. Results support a dose–response relationship between vibration and annoyance (stronger for freight trains and weaker for passenger trains). In the adjusted analysis, we observe a robust association between vibration and annoyance from all types of trains, accounting for socioeconomic factors. Furthermore, railway noise appears to modulate the vibration annoyance response.

生活在铁路附近：地面振动和振动干扰的横断面分析

根据可持续交通模式的政策建议，铁路交通量正在不断增加。然而，轨道交通振动对铁路附近居民健康的影响仍未得到充分研究。我们旨在研究轨道交通振动与不同类型列车振动烦扰之间的关系，并探讨铁路噪声对这些关系的影响。研究对象（N = 7280）是随机从居住在瑞典交通铁路 1 公里范围内的成年人中选取的。调查数据与模拟的铁路交通振动和噪声相结合。研究采用了横断面设计和逻辑回归分析。结果表明，振动与恼怒之间存在剂量反应关系（货运列车更强，客运列车更弱）。在调整后的分析中，我们观察到所有类型列车的振动与恼怒之间都有很强的关联性，并考虑了社会经济因素。此外，铁路噪声似乎会调节振动烦扰反应。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
