Overview of the validation of the developed tools, models and methodologies for cost-efficient railway noise abatement

The overview summarizes the validation activities and outcomes of DESTINATE. It contains three parts. 1. Overview of validation of cost-effective modelling tool for N&V mitigation measures: 2. Overview of the validation of the interior noise model: The overview describes the validation of the interior noise model including test procedure, main results of the measurements and the correlation between measurements and interior noise model. Recommendations to improve the methodology will also be included. 3. Overview of the validation of the source characterization methodology: The overview describes the validation of the source characterization methodology including test procedure, main results of the measurements and the correlation between measurements and sound source characterization. Recommendations to improve the methodology will be included as well.
