Abstract [en]
This study introduces an agent-specific assessment method of traffic noise exposure in agent mobility simulations. The assessment is achieved through a combination of an energy-based noise exposure impact assessment using noise exposure cost, and the state-of-the-art traffic noise prediction tool NoiseModelling coupled with the activity-based agent mobility simulation software MATSim. The agent-specific noise exposure cost is a measure to evaluate how the noise emissions from the transport of agents relate to the noise-related impact on other agents performing stationary activities. By introducing an agent-specific level, each agent’s individual responsibility for the noise exposure may be estimated. The potential of the agent-specific noise exposure cost concept, combined with the MATSim-NoiseModelling framework, is illustrated through a case study, applying activity-based agent mobility simulations across Nantes, France. The results of the case study highlight, among other considerations, the insights that an agent-specific, activity-based noise exposure cost approach provides by visualizing the noise exposure ”footprint” resulting from an agent’s transportation activities.
