Railway applications - Acoustics - Rail and wheel roughness measurement related to noise generation
1.1 This document specifies a direct measurement method for characterizing the surface roughness of the rail and wheel associated with rolling noise ("acoustic roughness"), in the form of a one-third octave band spectrum. This document describes a method for: a) selecting measuring positions along a track or selecting wheels of a vehicle; b) selecting lateral positions for measurements; c) the data acquisition procedure; d) measurement data processing in order to estimate a set of one-third octave band roughness spectra; e) presentation of this estimate for comparison with limits of acoustic roughness; f) comparison with a given upper limit in terms of a one-third octave band wavelength spectrum; g) the measuring system requirements. 1.2 It is applicable to the: a) compliance testing of reference track sections in relation to the acceptance test for noise emitted by railway vehicles; b) performance testing of track sections in relation to noise emitted by railway vehicles; c) acceptance of the running surface condition only in the case where the acoustic roughness is the accep
