Scope
What is the shape of the exposure distribution for road noise in an average-sized European city?
Motivation: Most administrative noise mappings carried out in EU ignore exposures below 55 dB LDEN and 50 dB Lnight. However, annoyance and sleep disturbance is already elicited at levels down to ~45 dB LDEN and down to 40 dB Lnight. Thus, for the purpose of health impact assessment, knowledge is needed on the shape of the entire exposure distribution, including the low-exposure regime.
However, the definition of "average-sized" (city) is somewhat ambiguous. Further, the diversity of cities results in a large variation in their exposure distributions, augmented by the plurality of noise mapping methods and noise metrics. Therefore, for the purpose of this variable, example distributions from a few "representative" cities from different parts of Europe should be compiled, to provide a first overview of the diversity in distributions accross cities.
Definition
Data
TBA, exposure distributions of:
- FI / Helsinki (Urbis-modelled)
- NL / Amsterdam (Urbis-modelled)
- S / Burlöv
- 4 sample cities analyzed in the Milieu-TNO-RPA report
- WHO 2008 Boesch et al. Economic valuation of transport-related health effects.pdf, Table 13
Dependencies
- identity of the particular city
- coverage, accuracy, and newness of input data used for noise mapping
- methodology (emission-propagation models, model parameters, software implementation) used for noise mapping
Unit
% of the population vs category of the noise metric (various)
Formula
None.
Result
If possible, a numerical expression or distribution.
