Sažetak
Today, reduction of rail traffic noise and vibration is a widely used concept for improving the life standard in vicinity of railway lines. Elevated levels of noise and vibration are the main factors of dissatisfaction, especially in urban areas. The paper reviews the effectiveness of noise and vibration mitigation measures applied to the network of European railway systems. These measures could also be applied to Croatian railways network where the issue of noise and vibration has not been addressed so far. Also, the paper presents research results of the application of several mitigation measures performed by the Department for Transportation at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, aimed at increasing the impact definition of their performance in local conditions.
