Rail Vehicles and Acoustic Insulation: Improving Passenger Comfort and Safety
While many people rely on cars for transportation, trains and trams remain popular for cost-effective mass transit. Nowadays, mass transportation designs primarily focus on passengers’ safety and comfort. However, the level of heat and noise generated by rail vehicles, such as trains, can make them quite uncomfortable for passengers when unmitigated. Thankfully, there are several sound and thermal insulation options that can reduce, block, or absorb vibrational noise and heat. This article discusses noise management in rail vehicles through the use of acoustic insulation to better ensure passenger comfort and safety....
