Abstract

A methodology for assessing the ground vibrations caused by the movement of rail vehicles is presented in the paper. A description of the results of experimental studies and assessment of the risks associated with the operation of rail vehicles on the road and tram crossing located in Silesia is also presented. The proposed method of assessing risks is based on the time-frequency analysis of signals and the estimation of a histogram of the distribution of amplitude signals.
