Vehicle Classes

The library Vehicle Classes (on menu Tables|Libraries (local) and (global)) manages vehicle classes to be applied in conjunction with specific calculation standards. The libraries can be extended by the user.

Selecting a vehicle class

The selection of a vehicle class is available via the Configuration of Calculations|Tab Road if the corresponding standard for road noise is selected at Tab Standards.

Table options for CNOSSOS-EU

Following emission parameters can be defined:

Parameter Description
Ar coefficient Ar for rolling noise
Br coefficient Br for rolling noise
Ap coefficient Ap for propulsion noise
Bp coefficient Bp for propulsion noise
Astudded correction coefficient a for studded tyres (for class 1)
Bstudded correction coefficient b for studded tyres (for class 1)
Cr,signal coefficient for rolling noise at crossings with traffic lights
Cr,roundabout coefficient for rolling noise at roundabouts
Cp,signal coefficient for propulsion noise at crossings with traffic lights
Cp,roundabout coefficient for propulsion noise at roundabouts
Ktemperature temperature correction Km
