<p>Different land uses, infrastructures, industrial activities and residential patterns of developed cities expose simultaneously people to several annoying sources.</p> <p>Over recent years, the European Union has provided several tools to harmonize noise mapping methodologies and relative Noise Action Plans through directives. Unfortunately, the same effort has not been made for the harmonization of approaches of other annoying sources such as odours. As a consequence, each European Member State has defined its own direct or indirect approach to limit odour impacts.</p> <p>The most common approach to deal with noise impact is the use of priority indices to highlight areas that are sensitive to both noise and, generally, odour impacts. The aim of the present research is to provide a brief review of the most widely used European strategies in noise action plans as well as try to extend the approaches to the definition of a nuisance action plan, capable of controlling both odour and noise.</p> <p>The analysis underlines that is possible to define the degree of sensitivity of areas according to population, land uses, levels of exposures and/or distance from the annoying sources. Nuisance acceptability levels are then definable according to the sensitivity degree of the locations.</p>

Die dritte Runde der Umgebungslärmrichtlinie 2002/49/EG [1] wird mit der Lärmkartierung 2017 und der aktuellen, in Schleswig-Holstein (SH) noch nicht vollständig abgeschlossenen Aufstellung der Lärmaktionspläne umgesetzt. Die Zuständigkeit für die Ausarbeitung der Lärmkarten und für die Aufstellung der Aktionspläne liegt in SH gemäß § 47 e Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz [2] bei den Gemeinden. Dem Land obliegt die Berichterstattung an die Bundesregierung. &nbsp; The third round of the Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/ ED [1] will be implemented with noise mapping 2017 and the current list of noise action plans, which has not yet been completed in Schleswig-Holstein (SH). The responsibility for the development of the noise maps and for the preparation of the action plans lies in SH according to § 47 e Federal Immission Control Act [2] in the municipalities. The country is responsible for the reporting to the Federal Government.

The variations in the operation timetable or schedule of an electrified transit rail system can lead to substantial fluctuations in power demands of its traction power network. This paper studies the correlation between the maximum power demands and timetable perturbations for electrified transit rail systems. Specifically, the operation schedule uncertainties are quantified as two parameters: headway shift and headway perturbation. A computation algorithm is introduced to illustrate how to use these two parameters to obtain the worst case scenario to obtain maximum power demand of traction power substations. Also a special type of catenary-free light rail system is used as an example to illustrate the algorithm and numerical results.
