English abstract:
Problems associated with increased noise exposure - especially due to road traffic in the urban context - are well known[1]. However, the acoustic planning of outdoor urban areas and the potential of simulation still does not receive sufficient attention. The present contribution focuses on urban canyons via comparison of measured and simulated sound levels of two inner-city areas in the city of Vienna, Austria. The research includes also a sensitivity analysis that takes into account variations in model assumptions. This makes it possible to explore the calibration potential of acoustical simulation tools in urban planning applications.
