SP6: Consolidation - Action plans - Dissemination

Workpackage 1: Consolidation

WP6 will consolidate the knowledge gained into a practical guide on how to tackle the complex issue of noise reduction in an urban environment. The document will comprise only realistically applicable and affordable solutions with estimates of their benefits in absolute and perceived terms. In this SP, the ranking of the measures obtained in SP2 (sources), SP3 (interfaces) and SP4 (propagation and receiver) will be evaluated. For each test site (each city), a specific measure will be selected to be implemented (in function of the problem to be addressed in that city). This specific measures will be designed (detailed design), implemented and validated (SP5). The knowledge gained after validation will be consolidated.

Workpackage 2: Action plans

There are not yet action plans available according to the 2002/49/EC directive. The tentative contents of those plans will be determined. Action plans will be produced for all the cities involved (related to the hot-spot section studied). They will serve as example for the municipalities.

Workpackage 3: Dissemination

International organisation such as UITP, and UNIFE will be asked to disseminate the results to their members. A particular amount of money is reserved to pay these organisations for this dissemination work.
