Aviation Noise Impact Management through Novel Approaches

Project description

DEENESFRITPL

New methodologies to cope with aviation noise annoyance

Aircraft noise affects quality of life and public health in airport neighbourhoods. The EU-funded ANIMA project aims to develop new methodologies and tools to manage and mitigate the impact of aviation noise in a continuously growing traffic demand environment. The project will assess noise impacts and current management practices to establish guidelines for best practices in effectively managing annoyance beyond the Balanced Approach of the International Civil Aviation Organisation. Additionally, it will conduct pilot studies and surveys to evaluate new methodologies for reducing the effects of noise. In this regard, ANIMA will create a noise management toolset and engage a pan-European network of experts and project leaders to develop a strategic research roadmap for reducing aviation noise.

Objective

Aircraft noise continues to cause adverse effects on quality of life and public health in airports’ neighbourhood. To address this challenge and ensure airports will have the capability to respond to the growing traffic demand, ANIMA aims to develop new methodologies and tools to manage and mitigate the impact of aviation noise, improving the quality of life near airports while facilitating airports growth and competitiveness of the EU aviation sector within the environmental limits, also considering 24/7 operations. Hence, ANIMA carries out critical review and assessment of noise impacts and existing management practices to establish best practices’ guidelines for an effective management of annoyance beyond ICAO Balanced Approach (WP2); develops a better understanding to address community annoyance, sleep disturbance and improve quality of life through pilot studies and surveys, assessing new methodologies reducing annoyance, testing novel and cost-effective solutions for land-use planning, using also mobile applications, the whole to derive new indicators (WP3); develops a 24/7 Noise Management Toolset to empower non-specialists with decision support capability and a 24/7 Design Toolset for researchers (WP4); tests and validates with end-users (airports and community) an “Aviation noise community platform”, gathering tools and best practices, facilitating consensus building and engaging communities in the mitigation process, ensuring exploitation of the results (WP5); supports the coordination of national and EU research activities, establishing a common strategic research roadmap for aviation noise reduction through the involvement of a pan-European network of experts and project leaders, also addressing international collaboration opportunities (WP6). ANIMA, a 4-year cost-effective project (total budget 7 479 618 €) builds on its consortium’s multidisciplinary excellence gathering 21 partners (Industry, SMEs, RTOs, Universities, airports and local authorities) from 11 countries.
