A model for the rapid assessment of the impact of aviation noise near airports.
in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
| Description | Two versions of the airport noise tool have been developed. The tool now known as SINE (Single Index Noise Evaluator) essentially provides an estimate of noise contour area and is included in the publically available AIM suite of programs. Last year RANE (Rapid Aviation Noise Evaluator), which provides airport noise contours very rapidly and within 10% accuracy was benchmarked against INM and extended from single runway airports to linear multiple runways. This year it has been extended to apply to all major airports. It was also used in a study currently on electric aircraft (reported at a EPSRC/ATI workshop in 2017 and an SA sponsored workshop). The supplementary tool to estimate Noise Power Distance curves for novel aircraft has also been reported and will enhance RANE by allowing estimation of community impact of future technological changes with greater accuracy. The main developments sought in this programme are complete and only confirming studies are left to be completed. |
| Exploitation Route | As a stand alone tool this will be useful for a variety od stakeholders and use by the Sustainable Aviation group is confirmed. Further discussions are planned with other interested stakeholders. |
| Sectors | Aerospace Defence and Marine Communities and Social Services/Policy Environment Transport |
| Description | Methods developed within the project have been applied in making estimates of future aircraft noise to non-academic bodies. Particularly the FlyZero consortium and the Sustainable Aviation industrial grouping in support of their revised Noise Roadmap (to be published May 2024). |

| Title | RANE -- Rapid Aviation Noise Evaluator |
| Description | RANE is able to quickly assess noise contours around airports utilizing a novel prediction methodology developed in the project. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2019 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | RANE is useful in itself as an independent tool that accurately predicts noise contours. In follow on projects it is being coupled with other tools that allow systematic estimation of noise from future aircraft designs. |

| Title | Data for: AIRPORT NOISE MODELLING FOR STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF AVIATION |
| Description | Data for figures of the paper: AIRPORT NOISE MODELLING FOR STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF AVIATION. This paper analyses the applicability and discusses the unavoidable limitations and advantages of existing simplified airport noise models within the context of multi-disciplinary strategic environmental impact assessment of aviation. Simplified airport noise models satisfying the above requirements and developed to be coupled with technology evaluators, e.g. Rapid Aviation Noise Evaluator (RANE) model [Torija et al., 2017], can inform policy decisions about which future technology platforms would be likely to be the most environmental efficient when considered holistically. Based on the specific conditions tested, the straight-out trajectory assumption and the use of generic aircraft types seems valid approximations for computing aviation noise outputs. |
