Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope An inclusion of traffic noise effects could change considerably the overall results of many life cycle assessment (LCA) studies.
However, at present, noise effects are usually not considered in LCA studies, mainly because the existing methods for their
inclusion do not fulfill the requirement profile. Two methods proposed so far seem suitable for inclusion in generic life
cycle inventory (LCI) databases, and a third allows for inter-modal comparison. The aim of this investigation is an in-depth
analysis of the existing methods and the proposition of a framework for modeling road transport noise emissions in LCI in
accordance to the requirement profile postulated in part 1. |
