| Popis: | International audience; The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management investigates the realization of photovoltaic solar panel fields in the vicinity of their roads and highways. These fields can have a width of 100 meters or more and may be located between a road and a residential area. One of the research topics is the effect of the panels on the sound propagation of road traffic noise, as the acoustic properties of the ground will change. For situations where the acoustic effect is significant one can, for instance, provide recommendations when applying standard noise calculation methods. To determine the acoustic effect numerical models have been applied up to 600 meters distance from the road, for different geometries and orientations of the panels. A downwind situation was taken into account. Sound level measurements using a loudspeaker source were conducted, as well as meteorological measurements, to validate the model results. |
