Ass.: Health effects of traffic noise in different mobility scenarios of the future - estimation of the burden of disease

In this project, the traffic noise-related health effects of different future mobility scenarios including hydrogen-powered traffic will be investigated. For this purpose, the burdens of disease of road noise, rail noise, and aircraft noise will be estimated with so-called "disability adjusted life years" for the model regions of Leipzig and Dresden. The mobility scenarios are developed in cooperation with the Institute of Acoustics and Speech Communication, in particular the Chair of Acoustics and Haptics, at the TU Dresden. The professorship contributes expertise on acoustic investigation and the consequences of acoustic scenarios for noise pollution.
