Abstract
Noise, as one of negative effects of increased motorisation in the world, is increasingly becoming an important parameter in determining the location and in the reconstruction of the traffic facilities. In the European Union the directives related to the permissible noise emission of motor vehicles have been adopted already in 1970s. Also, states have stipulated the permissible noise levels according to land allocation, and the protection measures are implemented more intensively. The paper describes the methodology of evaluating the noise level by implementing the macro-simulation software tool PTV Visum on the example of demonstration corridor of the European project Civitas ELAN in the city of Zagreb. The paper describes the basic objectives of this project and the implemented measures in the city of Zagreb. By implementing the software tools the noise level has been estimated by using German and Nordic guidelines whose calculation methodology is described in the paper.
