Overview

Background & policy context:

Road traffic can cause noise problems across long distances from roads. The role of meteorological conditions is getting more important with increasing distance from the road axes. Current computer models for computing street noise pollution ignore these influences largely. With currently available computing power, we can expect the significant increase in accuracy from theoretical studies about street noise.

Objectives:

The project will develop a calculation method for the determination of street noise pollution. Especially new approaches in the treatment of surface effects and meteorological influences will be examined. The calculation model will be provided as a prototype in the form of software and will be used for calculations in special situations.

In addition, a comparison with the known models will be carried out.
