This presentation reviews the consideration of cross matrix modules to enable GRBP and subgroups to evaluate regulation amendment proposals regarding their impact on real world traffic. The cross matrix addresses how vehicle sound emission regulations influence sound levels considered by road traffic noise models. Four existing sound source models are compared: EU CNOSSOS, SonRoad18, CNOSSOS JP, and HMG ASJ RTN. HMG sound power models derived from pass-by data on ISO 10844 compliant test tracks evaluate EVs and include type approval data for ASEP and RD-ASEP. Statistical pass-by simulations using randomized vehicle selection enable calculation of LA, eq for traffic scenarios with varying fleet compositions. To advance this work, sound power models for missing UN R51.03 and UN R41 vehicle categories, especially buses and trucks and new propulsion technologies, must be created and reference scenarios established and agreed upon.
CNOSSOS-EU (Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe) is the mandatory standard for strategic environmental noise mapping across EU Member States, established under the Environmental Noise Directive (END).
