Abstract

Due to the rapid development in urban areas, environmental pollution such as noise pollution is getting worse due to increasing traffic congestion. Noise created by transportation can influence human health by causing loss of hearing, insomnia, headache and other diseases when they are exposed to noise pollution for a long time. Based on previous research, noise created by railways is getting increasing attention among researchers. Nowadays, the railway system is one of the main modes of public transportation which is popular among the public due to its efficiency. However, the rapid development of rail transportation has also caused discomfort such as noise pollution to residents living in the city, especially those who live close to railway stations. However, this issue can be solved through noise reduction devices. One of the effective ways to reduce noise is by using noise barriers.
