This Dialog contains the tool options for inserting displaying Railway objects in PEN3D's zoom window.

 

The Railway Parameter - Maximum tab:

 

clip0208

 

 

Title

Road segment Name

Maximum Spectra

Sound power level for the maximum noise level calculation in octave bands 63 Hz to 8000 Hz.

Traffic speed

Average traffic speed

Percentage heavies

Trucks as a proportion of total flow and express as a percentage.

Road width

This defines the road edge.  With the normal model (not on ground) the height of the road is also carried out to the road edge.  It also defines the edge of the hard ground.  Default surface is soft ground in the CoRTN model.

Source Height

Height of the traffic stream noise source above the road.

Impervious Pervious

Standard CoRTN road surface specifications

Other

User defined road surface correction - departure from Standard CoRTN but approved by road authorities  Used in conjunction with the scroll bar to specify the correction relative to DGA road surface.

Traffic direction

Direction of flow relative to digitising direction.  Used when calculating gradient correction

 

The Railway Parameter - Leq tab:

 

clip0210

 

 

Leq Spectra

Sound power level for the Leq noise level calculation in octave bands 63 Hz to 8000 Hz.

 

The Railway Parameter - Geometry tab:

 

clip0211

 

 

 

Speed start and End

Speed at each end of the segment in the digitising direction

Source height

above the ground.

Train length

as it sounds.  For maximum calculations it max be appropriate not to use the full length of the train

Track width

This defines the track edge.  The height of the track is also carried out to the track edge.

Trains per hour

This need not be an integer

Traffic direction

Not used
