Die Reduzierung des Verkehrslärms ist eine große Herausforderung für alle Beteiligten. Das gilt umso mehr, als nach den Prognosen sich die Verkehrsleistung auf der Straße noch stark erhöhen wird. Viele Stellen in Deutschland, wie Industrie, Forschungseinrichtungen und Behörden haben sich der Problematik angenommen. Forschungsarbeiten wurden und werden durchgeführt oder sind in Vorbereitung. Über die nationalen Aktivitäten hinaus wird das Thema europaweit behandelt. In vier Beiträgen wird über die europäischen Forschungsprojekte SILVIA, ITARI, SILENCE und P2RN berichtet. Das Spektrum der Konzepte dieser Forschungsarbeiten ist sehr breit und erstreckt sich über praktische und theoretische Ansätze.
The road transport infrastructure is facing many challenges and the subsequent adaptation of the infrastructure is of utmost concern. These challenges are as follows: globalization, sustainability, technological and demographic change, an increase in goods transport and climate change. Various climate projections predict changing climatic parameters such as temperature, precipitation and wind speed for Germany. This could have severe impacts on road transport infrastructure as well as road traffic itself. At the Federal Highway Research Institute (Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen), a strategy was developed to adapt roads and engineering structures to the impacts of climate change. The strategy "Anpassung der Straßenverkehrsinfrastruktur an den Klimawandel /Adaptation of road traffic infrastructure to climate change (AdSVIS)" currently comprises about 15 projects. Adaptation measures are to be developed for the identified risk areas and consequently their effectiveness has to be assessed.
Various climate projections predict changing climatic parameters like temperature, precipitation, wind speed etc. for Germany. This could have severe impacts on road transport infrastructure as well as road traffic itself. At the Federal Highway Research Institute (Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) a strategy was developed to adapt roads and engineering structures to the impacts of climate change. The strategy "Anpassung der Straßenverkehrsinfrastruktur an den Klimawandel / Adaptation of the road infrastructure to climate change (AdSVIS)" comprises currently about 15 projects. On the basis of the identification of the hazards and the combination of the climate and road network data, the road transport infrastructure which might be affected is to be determined. Adaptation measures are to be developed for the identified risk areas and assessed as to their effectiveness. Special attention is given to international cooperation since climate change is a truly global challenge.
