In Germany the Federal Government has to report one year after its first convene the state and the development of harmful environmental effects (such as air-pollution and noise). This report has to be given according to Article 61 of the Federal Immission Control Act. Concerning noise the report has to distinguish road traffic noise, railway noise, aircraft noise and noise from industrial and commercial plants. Basic figures for this report will become the numbers of exposed citizens due to the noise sources and differentiated into noise level classes as well as into sizes of the towns and cities based on a calculation model for the whole German territory. A new calculation model was created to satisfy the changed requirements in consequence of Germany's reunification. In addition this model is able to look back until the year 1980 and it can make predictions based on a lot of different input parameters. Furthermore the model offers possibilities to adjust calculation methods (e.g. suggested by EU-WG 3), assessment periods (e.g. as suggested by EU-WG 1) and changes in the emission data. The model also enables its user to calculate and compare different scenarios depending on political decisions and technical developments. The mentioned characteristics of the model needed to develop a computer program with a high input on the statistical level and relatively complicated calculation algorithms as well as interface-systems to connect emission and propagation modules. For the time being the model works for road traffic noise. The part for railway noise is in preparation. The presentation will put emphasis on the road traffic model.
