Technology Overview
VROOM is a cutting-edge application that leverages MATLAB to offer precise predictions of road traffic noise across the nation, incorporating both temporal variability and spectral content. It uses reported hourly vehicle counts to predict traffic volumes and applies the Traffic Noise Model (TNM) for various vehicle classes to calculate emissions. VROOM addresses the limitations of current national transportation noise maps by providing detailed insights into traffic noise, including the effects of different vehicle types and facilitating real-time noise prediction.
Key Advantages
- High temporal and spectral accuracy in noise prediction
