Traffic Noise (Indicator)
Traffic Noise
Traffic Noise refers to noise disturbance that the buildings have due to the traffic density in a particular area.
How is the Traffic Noise indicator implemented in the Tygron Platform?
The Traffic Noise indicator calculates how much buildings in an area suffer from traffic noise.
The indicator scores based on the number of buildings that suffer from traffic noise per area. A lower number of buildings that are disturbed by the traffic noise means a better score.
How is the Traffic Noise indicator visualised?
The Traffic Noise indicator can be visualised using an overlay. This Traffic Noise Overlay displays the average noise that is produced for each part of the project detail area, giving an indication of the noise disturbance in that area.
This overlay becomes available for each stakeholder with an interest in the Traffic Noise indicator.

Indicator targets
The Traffic Noise indicator has 1 value for a target.
- Number of buildings that suffer from traffic noise disturbance.
The number of buildings that suffer from traffic noise disturbance in a particular area. The lower, the better.
Indicator properties
This indicator is a global indicator. This means the indicator and its target are the same for all stakeholders.
This indicator is represented with a progress bar, representing a scale of 0 to 100% score.
The indicator functions by calculation. The number of buildings that are disturbed by the traffic noise is substracted from the total number of buildings in that area. From this a percentage of the traffic noise disturbance in that area is derived.
The indicator scores per area, for each area a percentage of the traffic noise disturbance is calculated. The score on the indicator as a whole is the average of the scores per area.
Stakeholders with this indicator also have access to the Traffic Noise (Overlay).
