In six chapters, this new volume introduces high speed rail and environmental impact, considers environmental pollution and prevention in high speed railways, and covers the prediction, measurement and prevention of key environmental aspects of the railway. The title gives engineers the means to understand and mitigate the major environmental impacts of building and operating high-speed railways in the modern world.
High-speed railways offer a low-carbon and environmentally-friendly future for public railways. However, building and operating high speed railways at scale causes stress both to the environment and to people living nearby. Impacts include noise, vibration, air and water pollution, electromagnetic radiation, and solid waste from construction sites and the normal operation of the railway. In turn, analyzing the impact of high speed rail has grown in urgency.
- Details the impact of high-speed rail engineering on people and the environment, also considering technological solutions
- Covers a wide range of environmental impacts stemming from the construction and operation of high-speed rail
- Gives insights into the prediction, measurement and prevention of environmental impact, including noise, vibration and electromagnetic radiation
- Provides practical information based on established engineering practice building and operating high-speed rail in China
- Includes the latest standards and specifications from China and the ISO in relation to high-speed rail
Researchers and graduate students in railway engineering, transportation, planning, economics, environmental studies, logistics; Policymakers, industry specialists and other stakeholders invested in planning and developing policy and research on railways and environment
