Continuous movement funicular is an innovative system for passenger transportation. This ropeway system is particularly suitable as a means of transportation for small and medium sized cities, for connections from public car parks to universities or commercial centers, or between centrally-located train or metro stations and peripheral suburbs. The advantages of this system are high availability, fully automatic operation and high carrying capacity. Disad-vantages are high production costs and space requirements. Another disadvantage is also given by the closeness of such transport system with residential buildings, offices, hospitals or nursing home that could produce noise nuisance in sensitive noise receptors. In this paper an original method to evaluate the noise levels produced by funicular operation and maintenance activities is proposed.

Abstract
Continuous movement funicular is an innovative system for passenger transportation. This ropeway system is particularly suitable as a means of transportation for small and medium sized cities, for connections from public car parks to universities or commercial centers, or between centrally-located train or metro stations and peripheral suburbs. The advantages of this system are high availability, fully automatic operation and high carrying capacity. Disad-vantages are high production costs and space requirements. Another disadvantage is also given by the closeness of such transport system with residential buildings, offices, hospitals or nursing home that could produce noise nuisance in sensitive noise receptors. In this paper an original method to evaluate the noise levels produced by funicular operation and maintenance activities is proposed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
