NOISE BARRIER COST REDUCTION PROCEDURE STAMINA 2.0/OPTIMA: PROGRAM MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The Barrier Cost Reduction (BCR) Procedure is composed of two computer programs: STAMINA 2.0, the FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model; and OPTIMA, an interactive program which helps the user design cost-efficient noise barrier designs. This manual describes the programs, and their subroutines in detail. Complete documentation of the BCR Procedure consists of this report, a copy of the code listing and/or program tape, and the User's Manual (Report FHWA-DP-58-1).
