  Main goal of this paper was to describe an innovative method of noise prediction based on Genetic Algorithms. First part of the paper addresses the problem of growing noise, mainly in the context of a unified method for measuring noise. Further, Genetic Algorithms are described with regards to their fundamental features. Further a description is provided as to how Genetic Algorithms were used in the area of noise modeling. Next...

  Under Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise, all European countries are obliged to model their environmental noise levels in heavily populated areas. Some countries have their own national method, to predict noise but most have not created one yet. The recommendation for countries that do not have their own model is to use an interim method. The Dutch SRM II scheme is suggested for...

  Celem referatu jest przedstawienie zagadnień związanych z hałasem kolejowym. W pierwszej kolejności podano przegląd badań związanych z hałasem kolejowym, które są prowadzone w polskich ośrodkach i instytucjach naukowych. Przytoczono również główne modele hałasu kolejowego zawarte w dyrektywach europejskich (projekty HARMONOISE i IMAGINE). Dodatkowo zaimplementowano wybrane modele hałasu kolejowego dla warunków polskiego taboru...
