지하철 승강장의 음원-수음점 거리에 따른 실내음향 평가지수 특성 = Characteristic of room acoustical parameters with source-receiver distance on platform in subway stations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Prior to proposing appropriate standard for subway station platform, this study conducted field measurements to examine characteristics of room acoustics on platform of two subway stations. As a result of analyzing the longitudinal length of the platform, Sound Pressure Level (SPL) decreased (maximum difference : 14 dB), Reverberation Time (RT) tended to increase (maximum difference of 0.8 s ~ 1.5 s), and C50 and D50 were decreased (maximum difference: 5.9 dB ~ 9.1 dB and 31.8 % ~ 37.6 %, respectively) as measurement positions moved away from the sound source. The Interaural Cross-correlation Coefficient (IACC) did not show clear tendency, but it was lower than 0.3 in entire points. It is judged that the subway platform has non-uniform sound field characteristics due to various combinations of direct and reflective sound even though it is finished with a strong reflective material.This indicates that the room acoustic characteristics of the near and far sound field are clearly expressed depending on the source-receiver distances in the subway platform having a long flat shape with a low height compared to the length.Therefore, detailed architectural and electric acoustic design based on the characteristics of each location of speaker and sound receiver in the platform is required for an acoustic design with clear sound information at all positions of the platform.

본 연구에서는 지하철 승강장에 적합한 실내음향 설계기준 제시에 앞서, 현재의 지하철 승강장의 위치별실내음향 특성을 파악하기 위해 2개의 지하철 역사 승강장에서 현장 측정을 실시하였다. 승강장의 길이방향에 따른분석 결과, 음원에서 수음점이 멀어질수록 음압레벨은 감소(최대 차이: 약 14 dB), 잔향시간은 증가하는 경향(최대차이: 0.8 s ~ 1.5 s)이었고, C50과 D50은 감소하는 경향(최대 차이: 5.9 dB ~ 9.1 dB와 31.8 % ~ 37.6 %)인 것으로 나타났다. 공간감의 지표인 Interaural Cross-correlation Coefficient(IACC)는 음원과의 거리에 따른 명확한 경향성은 보이지 않았지만, 전체적으로 0.3이하의 낮은 값을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 살펴보았을 때 지하철 승강장은 일반적으로 강한반사재로 마감 되었음에도 수음위치에 따라 직접음과 반사음의 다양한 조합이 형성되어 비균일한 음장특성을 갖는것으로 판단된다. 이는 길이 대비 높이가 낮고 긴 평면형태를 갖는 지하철 승강장에서는 음원과 수음점의 거리에 따라근접음장과 원음장의 실내음향특성이 뚜렷이 발현되고 있음을 나타난다. 따라서, 승강장의 모든 위치에서 명료한 음정보를 갖춘 실내음향설계를 위해서 승강장에서의 스피커와 수음점 위치별 특성에 기인한 세부 건축 및 전기음향설계가 필요하다.
