SN 640 578

Emission

The A-weighted sound power level LW,i of a parking lot according to SN 640 578 (edition 2006-07) calculates from SN640-2006:

\(L_{W,i}=L_{W,PVi}+dM_i\)

with

  • LW,PVi: sound power level per movement and hour of a parking lot type with area i, in dB(A)

  • dMi: traffic correction, in dB

In CadnaA, an initial sound power level of LW,PV=66 dB(A) is used in conjunction with a correction for the type of parking lot KPA (see below):

\(L_W,i=66dB(A)+K_{PA,i}+dM_i\)

The traffic correction results from:

\(dM_i=10\lg(B_{Teilfläche,i} * n_{Teilflänche,i})\)

with

  • Bsub area i: number of events on sub-area i per hour (for Day/Night separately)

  • nsub area i: number of parking spaces on sub-area i

Direct Input

For direct input specify the emission level L*m,E (dBA) (individually for the time periods Day/Evening/Night). The value results from sound power level PWL (dBA) according to:

\(L^*_{m,E}=L_{wA}-17dB-19.2dB\)

*1) The sound power level includes noise due to door and hatch slamming.

*2) The sound power level includes noise due to car radios.

*3) with reference to the initial sound power level of LW,PV= 66 dB(A)

*4) The level correction for the use of shopping trolleys has to corrected for in CadnaA manually by the user via the correction for the parking lot type Dp.

Search/Passage of Vehicles

When calculating the immission level the noise due to search and passage of vehicles is accounted for automatically by:

\(N<150 : K_P=10\lg(1+\frac{N}{44})dB\)

\(N\geq150 : K_P=6.4 dB\)

Passage of Vehicles

The noise due to the passage of vehicles is modeled using the object „Road“. According to SN 640 578 a velocity of 30 km/h has to be used.

Entry & Exit Noise

The noise due to cars entering and leaving the parking lot is not considered in CadnaA.

Note

When using SN 640 578, a event in the input dialog refers representatively to a parking operation „Parkierungsvorgang“ (SN 640 578 paragrah 5.9).

Note

The implementation in CadnaA only refers to the modeling of so-called „uncovered parking lots“ according to SN 640 578. The other noise sources specified in this standard (underground car park, parking garage) are not implemented.
