Kurzfassung:
In the framework of the new European noise policy, the European Commission has created working groups to assist in the preparation of this policy. The members are appointed by the Commission on the recommendation of the member states, local authorities, and various organizations. Working group 3 (WG 3) is dealing with the harmonization of calculation and measurement procedures for noise assessment, mapping, planning, and noise abatement. Calculation methods shall be elaborated for road, rail, aircraft, outdoor machinery, and industry. They shall be suited for calculating the long-term noise exposure as well as single events, especially from air and rail traffic. Additionally, they shall be developed for a variety of geometrical and weather conditions which occur in the member states. At the Copenhagen Conference (September 1998), WG 3 started working and discussed the work program with experts from various countries. It was decided that emission data and transmission models should be separated. Emission measurement procedures should be provided, and the propagation models currently in use should be improved, especially in their physical representation. In the next months an action plan will be elaborated. In this paper the current state of the discussions will be presented.
