Abstract

This article presents a method of calculation that allows us to separate the contribution of a specific vehicle to the overall noise pollution in an urban environment. This method will provide local authorities with new operating models so that the cost of noise can be allocated to a vehicle according to factors such as the number of people it affects, the distance traveled and journey time, the driving style and the type of vehicle and tires. The proposed methodology can be adapted to different noise emission and propagation models, and we select as a basis the CNOSSOS-EU framework for compatibility with the European noise mapping strategy.

This method will make it possible to reduce road traffic noise using two long-term strategies: (a) separate distributions of the costs of noise among the vehicles that generate it, with the aim of achieving (b) an increase in pro-environmental behavior with regard to this pollutant.
