  1. Quieter Surface Transport in Urban Areas Project Presentation

  2. POLICY CONTEXT Although noise limits have become increasingly stringent over the years, no corresponding significant reduction in noise levels in urban areas has been observed => European noise policy has been revised to focus on noise perception to avoid the harmful effects of noise exposure from all sources and to preserve quiet areas

  3. OBJECTIVES SILENCE is a research project aiming to develop an integrated methodology and technology for improved control of surface transport noise in urban areas and looking at: • noise control at source • noise propagation • noise emission • human perception of noise For: road – rail – infrastructure - cities

  4. PROJECT DATA • Funded by European Commission under Sixth Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration • Integrated Project • Start: 1 February 2005 • Duration: 3 years • Coordinator: AVL List (AT) • 42 partners

  5. PARTNERSHIP Mix of European expertise: • City authorities • Urban public transport operators • National operators of railway traffic and road / rail infrastructure • Public research institutes and universities • Research and engineering institutions • European associations • Vehicle manufacturers and integrators • Suppliers of equipment, systems and technology for vehicles / infrastructure • Specialised small & medium enterprises

  6. OUTCOME SILENCE will provide: • Relevant and world-leading technologies for efficient control of surface transport noise • Innovative strategies for action plans for urban transport noise abatement and practical tools for their implementation • A significant reduction of people’s exposure to noise, especially in real urban conditions The overall outcome of SILENCE should be a reduction of noise emission by up to 10 dBA

  7. APPROACH

  8. STRUCTURE

  9. INNOVATION • Integrated approach • involving city planners, stakeholders from road & rail sector, acoustic expert groups • Strong focus on urban areas • from urban noise scenarios to urban action plans for future noise reduction • Assessment of scenarios not only by noise level, but also by annoyance aspects • human perception • System approach for rail research • using a rail/infrastructure platform for validation of noise predictions • Global modelling for rail and road • Tool for rail / road noise emission
