We aim to perform a series of field measurements for high-speed railway tunnels in China to obtain the micropressure wave (MPW) at the tunnel exit and the transient pressures near the tunnel portals. The relationship between the MPW and the nose-entry wave and the effects of train speed and the tunnel exit hole on the MPW are analyzed. The results show that the MPW decreases with increasing distance from the tunnel exit, but increases rapidly with increasing train speeds. Additionally, holes in the hoods near the tunnel exit could decrease the MPW near the tunnel exit by 10–20%.
