Metros are rail vehicles for the transportation of passengers in the public short-distance traffic. Metros are driven electrically (either via overhead rail tracks or the third rail) and exclusively run underground in both city centers and outskirts.
The measured values which are provided here refer to magnetic fields caused by the overhead rail tracks when a metro is passing by. The measurements took place either on board or at different locations near the railtracks. Measured values of magnetic fields caused solely by the overhead rail tracks without a metro passing by can be found separately under overhead rail tracks.
It has to be taken into account that many passengers are carrying a communication device in the passenger compartment so that high frequency fields occur too.
Measurand | Value | Feature | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|
magnetic flux density | 20 µT (maximum, measured) | alternating magnetic field | in the driver's cab [2] |
magnetic flux density | 0.1–2 mT (measured) | static magnetic field | in the passenger compartments of a 600 V overhead rail track system consisting of two tracks [3] |
magnetic flux density | 200 µT (maximum, measured) | static magnetic field | in the driver's cab [2] |
magnetic flux density | 0.2 mT (measured) | static magnetic field | in the driver's cab for a 600 V overhead rail track system consisting of two tracks [3] |
Measurand | Value | Feature | Remarks |
