Computer model to calculate noise levels along the Swiss rail network

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 - 10:30 in Mathematics & Economics

Acoustic specialists have developed a computer model which allows them to calculate noise levels along the entire Swiss rail network. The program describes how much sound is radiated and how it is attenuated. The results will one day show in high precision where residents are particularly exposed to noise and what abatement measures will be most effective in protecting them.
