Transport Noise and Vibration

Noise and vibration - critical element for sustainable transport infrastructure

Significant airborne noise and ground-borne vibration emissions are generally expected from major railway and road infrastructure projects. The combination of proper planning exercise and effective mitigation measures are paramount to maximise the benefit of the transport corridor operation, whilst the community is protected from unreasonable noise and vibration impacts.
