Road Noise: German Guideline RLS-90, edition 1990

RLS-90 calculates:

• 1st reflection order

• two outermost tracks separately

• no lateral diffraction

• no attenuation due to foliage

CadnaA - Configurations of CalculationCadnaA - Configurations of Calculation

• 1st reflection order

• grid interpolation 9*9

• max. search radius for sources: 2500 m

• no projection of line & area sources

• ground absorption included (porous ground)

• evaluation parameters: Lday (6 am - 10 pm)Lnight (10 pm - 6 am)
