THE BARRIER COST REDUCTION PROGRAM: A NEW TOOL TO REDUCE HIGHWAY NOISE BARRIER COSTS

The BCR Program was developed by BBN in 1977 to serve as an adjunct to the FHWA Mod IV Program. It is a very powerful computer tool that allows the design engineer to explore many highway noise barrier configurations and costs in a very short time. The BCR Program is currently available for state engineers as an appendage to the FHWA Mod IV Program.
