The U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s 2020 Reports
The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) Volpe Center published nearly 60 reports and conference papers in 2020 spanning a breadth of transportation topics that advance U.S. DOT’s priorities: safety, infrastructure, innovation, and accountability.
These reports are housed in the National Transportation Library and are listed below by topic areas. Select the linked report titles to preview and download copies of the U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s 2020 transportation resources.
Unconventional Aircraft (UA) Noise Research
The U.S. DOT Volpe Center’s Acoustics Unconventional Aircraft (UA) Noise Research Team, with support from the FAA’s Office of Environment and Energy (AEE), was created to focus on issues relating to the noise and community acceptance of UAs as they begin to enter into the National Airspace System.Advanced Acoustic Model (AAM) Software
About AAM
The Advanced Acoustic Model (AAM) is a suite of software tools that allows users to model vehicle sound levels at receiver positions, either on a uniform grid or at specific defined locations, from helicopters, tiltrotor vehicles, and fixed wing aircraft.
AAM is flexible in its ability to allow users to model noise from any traditional or evolving transportation noise source.
