The paper presents tuned track bed vibration isolation systems used for the railway and tramway lines. The presented solution based on mass spring systems and is effective especially at lower frequencies. The tuning frequency of such systems is mostly in the range 5 to 8 Hz. With measures based on spring elements elaborated by GERB company the significant vibration and noise reduction coming from the railways and tramways can be achieved. This new technology in Poland can be used during the track structure modernization as well as in the new projects, in which the track bed vibration isolation is required.
