Накратко на български
Звуковите пейзажи в града се изследват чрез създаване на 3D анимации, които симулират как се разпространява шумът между сградите. Това помага за по-точното планиране на градската среда и по-доброто разбиране на акустичните условия.

Final Activity Report Summary - AURALISATION (Transfer of Knowledge in Urban Soundscape Auralisation)
With the common use of 3D visualisation tools in urban design, there is a recognised need for 3D acoustic animation, taking various urban sound sources into account, as well as their spatial and temporal conditions. However, current computer prediction programs on urban acoustics do not have proper functions in auralisation, and current programs based on techniques for room acoustics simulation, although producing rather accurate acoustic indices and providing good auralisation functions, are time-consuming and less suitable for considering multiple sources with dynamic characteristics. The general aim of this project was to lay the foundations for urban soundscape auralisation. Detailed objectives included: Determine fast ways of simulating sound fields with absorption, reflections and diffractions of various urban elements, considering the combination of radiosity, image source method and ray-tracing methods; Determine the most effective ways of computer programming for the simulation, namely different ways of efficiently coding the algorithms, considering integration with existing packages; Establish the most effective way of considering binaural impulse responses; Explore the trade-off between model simplification and the ease in which acoustic models can be effectively integrated into 3D animations, and; Incorporate the above in a tool for conducting research on acoustic environments in 3D. Through the involvements of three TOK research fellows, the above objectives have been achieved. Other achievements included incorporating the knowledge from the TOK Fellows to the teaching activities in the host institution, and the exploiting the scope for commercial application of the tool developed.

Цел на проекта
Environmental noise is often the main cause of environmental distress for EU citizens. With the common use of 3D visualization tools in urban design, there is a recognized need for 3D acoustic animation, taking various urban sound sources into account, as well as their spatial and temporal conditions. It is in this area that new competence is sought for knowledge transfer. The research context is firmly in the disciplines of architecture and planning and the necessary computational skills for fast and efficient computer acoustic simulation typically reside in the discipline of Acoustics-Related Computer Science, thus there is an interdisciplinary dimension to the proposed knowledge transfer activities. The knowledge transfer objectives will be implemented through recruitment of two independent external researchers, 1 junior researcher (4-10 years research experience) with a background in acoustics-related computer science for 24 months in acoustic modelling, and 1 senior researcher (with at least 10 years research experience) for 12 months to transfer knowledge in the area of 3D animations. In addition to research activities, an important aim is to incorporate the knowledge of auralization from the TOK Fellows to the teaching activities in the host institution. Moreover, the TOK Fellows (especially the junior fellow) will receive training in various aspects of environmental acoustics.
