LIFE SILENT
LIFE SILENT is a research project aimed at developing sustainable and eco-compatible solutions to mitigate the noise emissions produced by road and rail traffic in complex urban environments, where the implementation of sound mitigation measures along the propagation routes (anti-noise barriers ) is inapplicable for reasons of space and opportunity (visual impact, air circulation). During the project, lasting 60 months starting from 09/01/2023, noise-reducing flooring will be tested and developed with recycled and non-toxic materials, coming from the paper and used tire supply chains, and low noise barriers to contain the noise emissions from railway traffic, also made with recycled materials.
Here are all the updates and information on the project:
THE PILOT AREA
The pilot area is located in Muratella in Rome, an urban area of the 11th Municipality with approximately 154,974 inhabitants, crossed by the Rome-Fiumicino Airport railway line managed by RFI, and by the A91 motorway managed by ANAS.
