The Traffic Noise Overlay is an Grid Overlay which displays the impact of traffic noise in DB(A) for the project area. Based on traffic flow, distance and several computation parameters a grid is calculated for the project area. Note, this overlay only shows the impact of traffic noise on top of a background value of 48 dB(A). Influence of other sources (e.g. windmills, air traffic, factories, etc) is excluded.
It becomes available for all stakeholders when added to a project.
Calculations
The calculations follow the standard rekenmethode 1 (SRM 1), as described on [1]:
LAeq = E + Co + Cr - Da - Dl - Db - Dm
where:
- LAeq: equivalent noise level (dB(A))
- E: emission
- Co: acceleration term (default = XXX dB(A))
- Cr: reflection term (omitted)
- Da: distance reduction
- Dl: air reduction (default = XXX dB(A))
- Db: surface reduction (default = XXX dB(A))
- Dm: meteorological reduction (default = XXX dB(A))
Default values are taken from InfoMil [2]
Emission
Emission is computed as:
E = 10 * log(10^(Elv/10)+10^(Emv/10)+10^(Ezv/10)
Per vehicle category, the emission is computed as:
Em = am + bm * log(m/v0) + 10 * log(Q/vm)+Cw;m
and
Cw;m = σm + τm x log(vm/v0,m)
where:
- m: vehicle category (light weihgt, medium weight and heavy)
- a and b: factors to be found at InfoMil [3]
- Cw = road surface correction
- σ = correction factor at reference traffic speed
- τ = correction factor per 10 km/hour deviation from reference traffic speed
Distance reduction
Distance reduction is computed as:
Da = 10 * log(r)
where:
- Da: distance reduction
- r: shortest distance between the source and point of evaluation
References
The overlay calculations are based on Standard Calculation Method 1 (SRM1) as defined by the dutch government: wetten.overheid.nl
