Following topics were researched more detailed, the identification of mechanisms for the acoustic deterioration of pavement and noise barriers, the development of procedures for acoustical evaluation and monitoring of this structures, the presentation of methods and indicators for identification of so called "hotspots", the evaluation of smart mitigation measures and future potential scenarios. In summary, many views on this topic resulted in a variety of approaches with multiple synergies and broad possibilities for further implementation in the evaluation of noise mitigation measures. The projects also indicated that further analysis of existing data and methods could lead to more elaborate and feasible solutions of noise consideration and abatement. In-depth research of individual topics could help to answer open questions.", }
