- Abstract
- Since 2000, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and Environment (RIVM) carries out a noise monitoring program, commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. The program involves continuous measurements along several motorways in the Netherlands. At each monitoring site, LAeq values are registered hourly, together with traffic volumes and temperature. The extensive data series allow an evaluation of temperature effects on measured noise levels. This paper gives an overview of effects seen in previous years along the A2 and N256 motorways in the Netherlands. At the N256 a distinction of effects from passenger cars and trucks is made. In addition to previous results, latest results of 2010 and analyses will be discussed and compared with guidelines at use for temperature correction.
