Abstract: y adopting research method of combining material investigation and test analysis, from aspects including weight standard, setting of evaluation index, frequency range analysis, judgement of train head and tail passing time and location of measuring points, a number of problems in current evaluation standards for urban rail transit vibration environmental impact are analyzed. Results show that, it is necessary to set up both single value index and frequency division index for more objective and comprehensive evaluation of urban rail transit vibration impact on residents′ life along the line. Since the judgement of train head and tail passing time is a subjective factor affecting the result of vibration environmental impact evaluation, to effectively eliminate this impact, it is suggested to set single value index to be plumb vibration acceleration grade maximum value Lvz,max, and frequency division index to be train passing period 1/3 octave frequency division vibration level maximum value Lva,max,f, which is calculated by peak hold method. Suggestions are given on weight standard, analysis frequency range and location of measuring points in terms of evaluation index calculation.
