Traffic noise

The increasing mobility of our society brings about dynamic developments that invigorate road, rail, and air traffic. In densely populated areas, noise often accompanies this mobility and productivity, but with targeted measures, we can positively influence and improve people's quality of life. We support with assessments and measurements of traffic noise. This is necessary in the following cases:

• New construction of transport routes
• Modification of traffic routes within the framework of urban land-use planning
• For airports and heliports and railway lines
   

The relevant regulations 16th and 24th BImSchV, VLärmSchR97, RLS-19, Schall-03 and DIN 18005-1 are applied. 

• Support for planners, road authorities, and operators in all noise protection matters related to roads and railways
• Expert assistance in approval and planning procedures
• Noise measurements on traffic routes and vehicles
• Emission and immission calculations for road, rail, water, and air traffic
• Acoustic assessments for the construction or modification of traffic routes
• Planning of new residential areas near traffic routes and calculation of noise protection requirements
• Proposals for noise control measures including cost estimation
• Examination of noise protection at affected buildings
• Visual representation of noise situations using colored noise map
• Support in the development of noise reduction concepts
• Determination and evaluation of noise emissions near airports and helicopter landing sites
