Abstract
Increasing traffic flows and a densification of traffic networks lead to an increase in traffic-related noise. The consequences for people exposed to (traffic) noise can be concentration disorders, cardiovascular diseases and various other pathologies. In order to find interdepartmental solutions for problems that affect all modes of transport, the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) has set up the BMDV Network of Experts. In the subject area “Possibilities for reducing traffic-related sound emissions and noise”, different authorities have joined their expertise to develop new approaches for the mitigation of traffic-related noise. The present work gives an overview of the activities in this focus area. It summarises the promising results of the first research phase and presents the projects of the current second research phase, which started in 2020.
