Based on this results action plans had to be developed. Numerous agglomerations hadn’t been able to deliver the noise maps in time, and had to interpret the term “strategic” also in the case of action planning. The determination of annoyed people according to the environmental noise directive is carried out by calculation. The road traffic is calculated according to the German calculation method VBUS. This calculation method is not designed to indicate the effect of all measures taken for action planning. Therefore, not all measures have an effect of the calculated noise values by VBUS. Some measures are underestimated or cannot be estimated at all by VBUS. The purpose of this project is to identify a cost and time effective solution for agglomerations to estimate the effect of noise mitigation measures on road traffic noise as realistic as possible. Kurzbeschreibung Entsprechend der Richtlinie 2002/49/EG waren bis zum 30.06.2007 Hauptverkehrswege, Großflughäfen sowie Ballungsräume mit mehr als 250.000 Einwohnern zu kartieren und anschließend daran ggfs. Aktionspläne aufzustellen. Zahlreiche Ballungsräume waren jedoch nicht in der Lage, die Lärmkarten termingerecht zu erstellen. Viele Ballungsräume waren somit gezwungen, den Begriff „strategisch“ auch im Zusammenhang mit der Aktionsplanung etwas weiter auszulegen. Bei der Umgebungslärmrichtlinie erfolgt die Bestimmung der Lärmbelastung mit Hilfe von Rechenmodellen. Der Straßenverkehr wird nach der Vorläufigen Berechnungsmethode für den Umgebungslärm an Straßen (VBUS) berechnet. Diese Vorschrift ist jedoch nicht vollständig in der Lage, die bei der Aktionsplanung ergriffenen Maßnahmen abzubilden. Zudem gibt es eine Reihe von Maßnahmen (etwa im Verkehrsmanagement), deren Wirkungen mit der VBUS gar nicht eingeschätzt werden können. Das Ziel dieses Vorhabens ist es, für die Aktionsplanung zum Straßenverkehrslärm in großen Ballungsräumen eine vom Kosten- und Zeitaufwand her vertretbare Lösung zu finden, welche die Lärmminderungseffekte so realitätsnah wie derzeit möglich abzubilden vermag.

  • Monitoring of Sound Pressure Level
    1. INTRODUCTION Noise is one of the main environmental problems of modern life and it is inseparable from human activities, urban and technological growth. National and international standards provide for a minimum of acoustic comfort for coexistence between man and industrial development. That's why a study of noise emission and environmental noise at the PALAGUA - CAIPAL Field was carried out; samples of measurements were taken in specific (punctual) manner to meet the sound pressure level (SPL) with a duration of five minutes per sample/measurement for noise measurements and 15 minutes for ambient or environmental noise in each direction: (north, east, south, west and vertical). The result of these measurements was compared with the maximum permissible noise emission and environmental noise standards stated in Resolution 627 of 2006 Ministry of Environment, Housing, and Territorial Development (MAVDT) and thus it was verified that they comply with environmental regulations in the PALAGUA - CAIPAL Field. 1 INFORME DE LABORATORIO 0860-09-ECO.

  • 5. Noise Pollution
    5. Noise pollution 1. Please describe the present situation and development over the last five to ten years in relation to (max. 1,000 words): Within the scope of implementing “Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 25 June 2002, relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise”, the proportion of Hamburg’s population subjected to noise emanations from road, railway and air traffic sources as well as industrial, commercial and port facilities has been determined in terms of the noise indicators L den, for noise levels during the day, evening and night, and L night, for noise levels at night. The assessment was calculated on the basis of national provisional computation methods; namely, the “Provisional computation method for environmental noise on roads – VBUS”, the “Provisional computation method for environmental noise on railways – VBUSch”, the “Provisional computation method for environmental noise at airports – VBUF”, the “Provisional computation method for environmental noise from industry and commercial facilities – VBUI”, and the “Provisional computation method for determining the number of individuals exposed to environmental noise – VBEB”. In terms of the industrial, commercial and port sector, in addition to plants located in the port area, only those industrial or commercial zones with one or more plants as per Appendix 1 of the “European Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control” are afforded consideration. The period of reference is 2006. Accordingly, the number of individuals affected is as follows: Affected by L den > Affected by L night > 55 dB(A) 45 dB(A) Road traffic 363600 420900 Rail traffic 56200 38900 (L night > 50 dB(A)) Air traffic 43700 5000 (L night > 50 dB(A)) Industry/commercial 4200 10200 /port facilities In line with the requirements of the EU directive, the analyses are updated at least every 5 years, from which commensurate developments regarding issues of concern can be ascertained.

So although definitions can be slippery, they are important nevertheless for [email protected] placing boundaries around individual concepts, particularly if scholars, acousti- cians, and policymakers are to understand the nature of environmental noise and its impact on human beings. At a very basic level, definitions determine how noise is assessed, regulated, and mitigated as an environmental problem. Moreover, defi- nitions are crucial if governments, national, and supranational organizations are to work together in a holistic manner to reduce environmental noise in the future. Environmental noise is any unwanted sound created by human activities that is considered harmful or detrimental to human health and quality of life (Murphy et al., 2009); it results from human interaction with the natural environment. It refers only to noise affecting humans and is typically (but not exclusively) asso- ciated with outdoor sound produced by transport, industry, and/or recreational activities.

  • Mobile Applications for Environmental Noise and Soundscape Evaluation
    Mobile applications for environmental noise and soundscape evaluation Radicchi, Antonella1 Institute of City and Regional Planning, Technical University of Berlin Hardenbergstraße 40 a Sekr. B 4 – 10623 Berlin ABSTRACT In the past ten years, in parallel to the development of low-cost digital technology, we witnessed the increasing development of mobile applications deployed as environmental noise and soundscape evaluation tools. Firstly, this paper presents the results of a survey conducted through literature and market review covering the past 10 years, spanning from the release of the first app, Noise Tube, to the more recent ones, such as Hush City. Secondly, it discusses the benefits and challenges of using mobile apps for environmental noise and soundscape projects. In conclusion, considering the release of ISO norms on soundscape, it discusses the possibility to standardize the design and implementation of mobile apps for soundscape research.

INTRODUCTION The interest for the acoustic environment of cities, its impact on human health, well-being and quality of life and its implication on design and policy planning has a rather long history that can be traced back to the anti-noise movements of the late XIX centuries and more recently to the so-called soundscape studies stemming from the research conducted by Michael Southworth in the US and by Murray Schafer in Canada in the late Sixties of the XX century1. In order to study and evaluate the characteristics of the acoustic environment different indicators, tools and methods have been developed in the course of the decades (e.g.

  • Action Plan Hamburg
    Supporting electric freight vehicles in Hamburg Tessa Taefi, Tobias Held, Jochen Kreutzfeldt Hamburg j July 2014 Report written within the framework of Activity 7.4 of the Interreg IVB project E-Mobility NSR Preface Dear Reader, Electric vehicles, charged with renewable energy, reduce global and local air pollutant emissions. Fos- tering electro mobility is important to the German federal and local authorities in adhering to the EU climate limit values and goals of the German ’Energiewende’. Urban commercial fleets offer a signifi- cant first market for electric vehicles, as highlighted in the electric mobility pilot regions. Especially in fleets performing road freight transport tasks, electric vehicles are technically suitable, as trips are often recurring and planned ahead. Thus, the scheduling of driving and charging electrical freight vehicles can be well planned. Also for companies who transport freight in urban areas, electric vehicles offer advantages: they decouple transport costs from any potential fuel price increase and can even result in new business opportunities through future regulatory privileges and the vehicle’s sustainable image. Despite these potentials, only about one out of thousand commercial vehicles had a fully electric power-train in Germany on January 1st 2014, according to KBA statistics. Hybrid vehicles play an even smaller role. What actions can Hamburgs government take to support electric vehicles especially in urban freight transport? Which of the measures are most effective to increase the share of freight EVs? Is a financial involvement or are personnel resources necessary, and can the measures be integrated into the overall traffic planning? This report will attempt to provide answers to these questions, by combining expert interviews and case studies.
