The Transport Planning Pressure Point

The rapid pace of urban development and the creation of new towns has been the backbone of economic growth in the developed world since the 1950s. That dense style of development, with vast infrastructure and roadway costs, has been adopted by emerging powers in developing countries to bring billions of people out of poverty. With brisk economic development come added pressures: improved quality of life and better care of the natural environment.
Maximizing the community’s investment in efficient transportation networks is the cornerstone of sensitive development, helping businesses and families thrive. However, meeting the legislative requirements around noise and air pollution issues has significantly increased the workload for national, state, and local governments, authorities, and industry.
There is more to do and more to measure than ever before

User Support

ODEN can be used to assist planners, engineers, architects, and environmental practitioners in rapidly evaluating the acoustic performance of different development design options and noise mitigation strategies. ODEN assists with the assessment of acoustic environmental baselines, design options, and mitigation options and creates outputs suitable to support reporting and submission for road, railway, and industrial noise projects

  • Automated Workflows
  • Supports Most Regulations
  • Highly Scalable
  • Local or Broad-Scale Models
  • Integration with Corporate GIS

Local Applications

ODEN has a variety of tools that enable users to carry out project-level analyses to support local planning activities. For example, a local agency could use ODEN to test the efficacy of retrofitting noise barriers to a road section versus the application of LNRS to that road thus providing a valuable decision-making tool. With its air pollution modeling capability, ODEN could also be used to test the same barriers' effect on potential air quality improvement.

Industry Applications

Whether it's abatement planning or reporting to regulatory bodies on compliance, ODEN has the tools most industry specialists need to support design & build, and operational activities. For example, by utilizing the LimA engine behind ODEN, it is possible to model the highly complex screening construction associated with Industrial facilities.

Policy Applicationsd

ODEN provides a framework that allows central mapping authorities to coordinate the activities supporting strategic noise mapping. For example, ODEN assists authorities in preparing base data provide tools for involved agencies to update this base data, and finally tools to produce EU-compliant noise maps and reports. ODEN supports a variety of road, rail, aircraft, and industry noise calculations, the generation of reports and statistical analyses, and the visualization of results as maps and 3D interactive scenes. ODEN can be configured to support the following regulations:
