Sound moving across a site can vary from a polite white noise to audibly damaging. Forma focuses on traffic noise based on information that can be found on most DOT (Department of Transportation) websites. Understanding the noise levels across the site can help arrange built elements to mitigate unwanted and potentially damaging sounds.
After this video, you’ll be able to:
- Define the input parameters and values for analyzing noise.
- Apply traffic data to road centerlines.
- Use the data to inform design decisions.
- Develop sound mitigation strategies.
