Abstract

A recent study on alternative road materials concluded that the cost associated with noise-related health impacts would favour one type of material. In the analysis, the noise of road and vehicles was allocated fully to the road. If we would only allocate a part to the road and the rest to the vehicles, an opposite conclusion could be drawn. We therefore argue for a closer study of this allocation problem, and for the use of sensitivity analyses as long as no good solution has been found.
