Emission Numerical Model

Traffic emission model

The emission model of the implemented traffic is the CNOSSOS-EU model.

Note

Current model includes the emission coefficients a and b presented in the report “Amendments for CNOSSOS-EU” (Kok, 2019)

Other emission models

Other emission models are not included within the release 3.0.

Ray Tracing

The ray tracing algorithm is a rubber-band like algorithm as specified in CNOSSOS-EU.

Warning

  • rays backwards to the source or receiver are not taken into account. For example, if a receiver is located inside a U-shaped building, only diffractions on horizontal edges will be taken into account.

Propagation Numerical Model

The emission model of the implemented traffic is the CNOSSOS-EU model.

Warning

  • the rays under favorable conditions are subject to questioning. The current version is not final.
  • the Rayleigh criterion is subject to questioning. The current version does not integrate calculation that involve this criterion.
  • taking into account 15 degrees obstacles are subject to questioning. The current version doesn’t integrate calculation that involve 15 degrees obstacles.
