Each region has criterions for
environmental vibration such as the vibration from
running Shinkansen etc. The related guidelines identify
the use of vibration level meter for vibration
measurement. For example, the guideline in Yokohama city
says that countermeasures for vibration source or
prevention of hazard due to vibration must be taken
urgently at the area where vibration from running
Shinkansen exceeds 70 dB. Also, the AQ-VU Visual
recorder (made by
TEAC* corporation, user preparation) can record and
replay a vibration object as a video in synchronization
with the vibration data. This allows visual
checking of what causes a rapid change in vibration at
unattended and automatic vibration measurement.
