Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

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. |

Description | The airport noise tool now exists in two forms known as SINE and RANE. SINE has been included in the latest release of the Aviation Integrated Modelling (AIM) tool which is publically available. In addition SINE is being used in collaboration with the Sustainable Aviation group to update the UK Aviation Noise impact assessment which will be used in the update to the SA Noise Roadmap due for publication late 2019 or early 2020. The RANE tool has now been extended to enhance applicability. It is now capable of fast computation for multi-runway, multi-directional airports. It is currently being linked to population affected tools. and is being extended to novel aircraft types such as Urban Aviation. |

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. |
