Abstract:This report presents an evaluation of the principal sources of noise from tracked air cushion vehicles (TACVs). The study is based on analyses of and laboratory experiments on existing TACVs and rapid transit systems. Measurements of two French TACV systems were conducted, one a 44-passenger prototype suburban vehicle propelled by a linear induction motor (LIM), and the second an 80-passenger intercity vehicle powered by a gas turbine and shrouded pusher propeller. Noise levels from a slider current-collection system were also obtained through measurements of the noise and vibration of a third-rail contact shoe on a rail rapid transit car.
