It is found that controlling railway line occupancy is the main issue associated with railway traffic flow. For this purpose, the line occupancy control based on a sound method has been developed. The concept of using sound waves as a source of information about approaching people, animals, vehicles, etc., has been known for centuries, and is due to the natural properties of the sense of hearing. There are many engineering attempts on the use of this phenomenon, which are mostly based on applications of distributed fiber-optic sensing technology. This paper presents the results of the sound pressure measurement in the immediate proximity of the rail to analyze and evaluate the use of the acoustic wave as an information carrier on approaching rail vehicles. The purpose of this research is to discuss the sound method introduced here, and apply it in different circumstances.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22135003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,4]],"date-time":"2022-07-04T20:59:18Z","timestamp":1656968358000},"page":"5003","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Railway Line Occupancy Control Based on Distance Determination Sound Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0360-8559","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Burdzik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, 40-019 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ireneusz","family":"Celi\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering, Silesian University of Technology, 40-019 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2009-1216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"K\u0142aczy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics and Vibroacoustics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, AGH University of Science and Technology, Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1108\/17410380510574086","article-title":"Traffic control in transportation systems","volume":"16","author":"Dridi","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
