METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING AND PRIORITIZING PROPOSED STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS IN NOISE ACTION PLAN OF ROADS

摘要

A noise action plan for a road network must give the answer to certain relevant questions, such as: where, when and how to tackle noise pollution? Which are the criteria to choose the location to start? This article presents an action prioritizing method based on a multi-criteria analysis of the following variables: the amount of affected people, the acoustic level of the affection, the landscaping, the efficacy and the ease of implementation of the measure, as well as the cost-benefit analysis. This has been applied to more than three thousand kilometres of Spanish roads.
