Integrated Goods Distribution Scheme for Noise Reduction in Ústí nad Labem

Ústí nad Labem, located at a key railway junction and near the Elbe waterway, faces significant freight-related noise due to its industrial center and dense urban business activities. To address this issue, a goods distribution scheme is proposed to lower traffic noise impacting the city. The plan includes utilizing noise maps, analyzing traffic management solutions, and optimizing freight vehicle operations. Recommendations focus on creating ecological zones, regulating freight access, and establishing effective goods distribution centers to enhance overall urban quality while maintaining business efficiency.

  1. Background and Objectives • City located at a railway junction, on the important waterway Elbe, and in the near future, it will be fully connected to the major motorway D8 that links Prague with Dresden. • Large number of businesses on a relatively small area in the city centre - transport performance of supply vehicles is significant. • Industrial centre of the region. • As a result, there is a large volume of freight related noise, which the city aims to reduce. • Objective: • Propose a goods distribution scheme lowering noise from traffic affecting the city

  2. Measure overview • Tasks • 7.6 Noise Reduction • Finished in M39 • DEMO task • Based on results of the task 11.3.6 Noise Reduction, develop a scheme for efficient goods distribution in the city

  3. T city terminal T city centre System boundary Task 7.6 • Utilising results from the noise map • Analysing suitable planning and traffic management solutions • Identifying the need for goods distribution scheme • Possibilities for optimisation revealed • Goods distribution centers • Freight villages • Recommendations for the city • Assessment of impacts on noise emissions

  4. Results • Prohibitingentrance for all freight vehicles into the city centre not recommended in the current state • Current functions of the city centre ensured by FV • Need to assess impacts of transferring FV to other areas • Freight vehicles would be replace by larger amount of personal vehicles • Recommended restrictions for freight transport: • Reasonable charging the entrance • Incentive promotion of ecological vehicles • Limiting or prohibiting heavy freight vehicles in particular areas • Required completion of the D8 highway for transit traffic • Goods distribution centers currently not effective due to negligence and competition of local businesses • Establishing ecological zones • Reduction of speed in the city where exceeding 50km/h • Implement protecting technical solutions – noise barriers, insulation, tunnels, materials

  5. Evaluation • Evaluation of impacts of freight vehicles moving in the city assessed in relation to the measure 28 Noise Reduction (Scenario G) • Assessed indicators: • Noise level and impact (noise map) • Emissions • CO, Nox (transport model) • CO2, Particulate (transport model) • Goods vehicles moving in the area (transport model)

  6. Budget and costs • No implementation • No subcontracts or purchases • Only personal costs (10MM)
