ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE PROJECTS

-Development of “Florida DOT Rail Model”, a Windows based simulation program that predicts sound levels in communities from common rail sources found in Florida. (2006-2007)
-Development of the “Shadow” computer model, this computer model draws an estimate of the shadow zone created behind a highway noise barrier and produces a dxf file that can be imported into the TNM model. This is useful for determination of “benefited receivers.” (2006-2007)
