Decision supporting tools for implementation of cost-efficient railway noise abatement measures (DESTINATE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

DESTINATE aims to develop tools and methodologies for railway noise simulation and cost-benefit analysis of mitigation actions of interior and exterior noise. For accurate noise prediction it is essential to characterize the structure-borne and airborne sound sources accurately in order to create valid input for sound prediction simulation models. The calculated interior and exterior noise can be ...
