The audio-visual environment of the most commonly used subway platforms has a significant effect on the emotions and health of the vast population that relies on subway travel. Taking the typical subway station space in Guangzhou as an example, four types of representative sounds and scene images were examined in this study. Audio-visual interaction experiments were conducted in the laboratory to explore the effects of visual and spatial elements in metro platform spaces on evaluations of the acoustic environment. The study found significant differences in the direction and degree of influence of different visual factors on various acoustic evaluations in subway platform spaces. Under acoustic-only condition, background music received the highest scores in the acoustic comfort, preference. However, these scores significantly decreased after platform images were added, while the quietness evaluation for the train arrival and departure sounds, broadcast sounds, and crowd activity sounds improved. In terms of visual factors, the impact of spatial brightness on acoustic evaluations was significantly greater than that of cool and warm colour tones or the spaciousness of the metro platform. An increase in brightness can significantly improve the three acoustic evaluations of broadcast sounds. The influence of colour tones and spaciousness on the evaluation of different sound types varied greatly. When the platform’s scene changes from warm to cool tones, the comfort ratings for train arrival and departure sounds decreases significantly, whereas the quietness evaluations for broadcast sounds improve significantly. When the platform’s spaciousness is reduced, the quietness of crowd activity sounds significantly decreases. The impact of visual factors on the evaluation of the acoustic environment follows the order of quietness &gt; comfort &gt; preference. Among various sounds, visual factors had the most significant impact on the evaluation of broadcast sounds. These results provide a direction for future research in terms of exploring the interaction between visual scenes and specific sound sources in traffic spaces and its influence on acoustic evaluation mechanisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49414,"journal":{"name":"Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology","volume":"159 ","pages":"Article 106476"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143454554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, the stability coefficients were calculated by using the critical buckling load equations for several typical cases of high-speed railway tunnels to identify the transition of the instability state of layered rock mass.

To better understand the impact of the sealing speed on the fire behavior of longitudinal ventilation roadway, a dynamic sealing method was proposed. A series of 1/10 scaled experiments were conducted at four different sealing speeds, and the variations in flame shape, mass loss rate (MLR), self-extinction time, smoke component concentrations near the fire source, and the ceiling temperature directly above the fire source (<em>T</em>_c) were investigated. The results indicate that in the early stage, the flame exhibits a significant downstream tilt, which gradually decreases as the sealing ratio increases. The time from ignition to self-extinction (<em>t</em>₁) shows a monotonically increasing linear relationship with sealing speed, and there is an overall decreasing trend between the time from complete sealing to self-extinction (<em>t</em>₂) and sealing speed.

Adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a total of 132 research articles were retrieved from three databases (i.e., Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore) and grey literature to conduct a systematic literature review. In general, this systematic review reveals that the integration of ULS with the metro system is a current research hotspot. It is also found that the mixed-integer programming model is commonly adopted in existing studies to solve problems related to location and routing. Additionally, several last-mile delivery solutions for ULS (i.e., door-to-door, self-pickup, and a combination of other overground delivery methods) are presented. Moreover, the findings demonstrate that, despite high construction costs, ULS can provide significant benefits to society, the economy, and the environment.

(ii) The local structural stiffness has a significant influence on the bending moment and radial displacement, and its influence decreases with increasing water pressure.
