Owing to the oncoming accomplishment of the Taiwan high speed rail transportation (HSRT), it necessitates to investigate the environment impact from the noise and vibration (NV) of the train passing-by a speed of 300km/hr. In the past two decades, such kind studies have been carried out by Europe, USA and Japan. The aim of the project is basically concentrated on the comparative analyses of the countermeasures planned by the related countries regarding impact of NV generated by HSRT. Stemming from the human response data and the physical characteristics of the NV of HSRT, the assessment index and environment impact criterion can be worked out for further drafting regulations suitable for the domestic application. This one year project encompasses the material collection and comparative study related to the regulations, policies and countermeasures about the NV of HSRT of disparate countries. Then propose the standard method of measurement and draft the directory regutalions. Secondly, the factors that influence the propagation and decay of the NV of HSRT are discussed and the assessment model and index are suggested. Also, the operation process with respect to the future appeal cases is simulated and studied for future application reference. Three consultative meetings have been held during the research period. Many issues and openions of the experts and scholars from Universities, the Bureau of High Speed Rail, Taiwan High Speed Rail and the local environment protection bureaus of city and conunty governments have been discussed and taken into considerations. In such a way, it is envisaged to make the conclusions of this research to be sound, feasible and more reasonable.
