Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has been accredited in a study regarding the daily operation of the Dubai Metro in terms of standard noise and vibration levels.
The study covered 27 metro systems of metropolitan cities in the second half of 2020.
Due to the maintenance and upkeep, the Dubai Metro in comparison to other metro systems is superior in terms of reduced noise and vibrations.
Abdul Muhsen Ibrahim Younus, CEO of Rail Agency, RTA said, “This achievement is a testament to the daily operational efficiency of the metro system as well as the safety and security levels of the metro service. RTA prioritises these two elements and endeavours to achieve them with distinction.”
Abdul Muhsen Ibrahim Younus further added, “The study focused on identifying the challenges confronting the metro operators as regards the noise and vibration generated by the metro operation, measuring the level of noise and vibrations, and analysing the underlying reasons and associated factors. The study also tackled legislation and policies implemented in cosmopolitan cities, procedures for measuring and monitoring, and the technical solutions taken to mitigate the negative impacts of noise and vibration on the community.”
