THE NPK SYSTEM. IMPACT - CALCULATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ROAD TRAFFIC (NOISE, AIR POLLUTION, ENERGY REQUIREMENTS)

NPK SYSTEM. IMPACT - BEARBETNING AV VAEGTRAFIKENS MILJOEEFFEKTER (TRAFIKBULLER, LUFTFOERORENINGAR ENERGIAATGANNG)

Owing to the present quantity of road traffic, its environmental impact must be taken into consideration. The most evident environmental effects are noise and air pollution. In order that these effects may be quantified, models must be available. A program system has been developed for description of environmental impact and energy consumption. The publication discusses the noise and air pollution problems, gives details of the calculations in the model, and describes input and output data. /TRRL/
