FUTURE OF CARS

FUTURE HIGH-WAY
High-way as an all-contected system.
More sharing programs, and more specific vehicles.
Interactive road surface (loading cars) that will be energy neutral.
City centers will become disconnected from the high-way and only reachable when changing mode of transportation.
PROJECT LOCATION LOCATION the A12 high-way in 2035
The location of my project is a stretch of high-way between intersection Lunetten and Ouderijn, it was given by the studio.
PROJECT AIM Project aim: Combine the knowledge of the new highway and the future densification of Utrecht to illustrate the A-12 zone could be an highly attractive area.

TECHNICAL RESEARCH
Problem statement: The most dominant high-way traffic noise is tyre-surface contact, a problem that will stay in the electric driving future.
0-40 km-h - engine - exhaust
40-180 km-h - tyre road contact
< 180 km-h - aerodynamics
Technical research question: How can we reduce the highway traffic noise by architectural interventions (medium manipulation) to such a degree that allow us to effectively use near high-way locations as illustrated in my project location.

SOUND MANIPULATION IN THE MEDIUM
RESEARCH
ARCHITECTURAL TOOLS TOOLBOX Landuse & zonning Sound Principles: energy loss through air over distance
Topography Sound Principles: Absorption by mass and reflection due to height differences of the embankment
Barriers
Sound Principles: Reflection due to height barrier, and possible absorption.
Planting Sound Principles: Absorption and reflection, planting will increase reflections and therefore have absorbing capabilities.
Building orientation and shapes Sound Principles: Reflection (controlled), the buildings will guide noise away from certain places.
Building Featurs Sound Principles: Reflection and absorption, facade elements balconies that will reflect and absorb sound.
New source
Sound Principles: Addition of pleasant and natural sound to overule the noise.

VHP Waterwall, Royal HaskoningDHV.. Active wall of water, to block noise and add an other sound.
Flutebridge, own work. Cars have influence on the airstream, and music will appear on cycle bridge.
Asphaltophone, Steen Karup Jensen. Sound made by ridges in the road.
Windorgan, Barnleys Panopticon Design. Makes music out of wind energy.
Wind triangle Makes music out of wind energy.
Soundhorn, Amplified sound
Sea organ, Zadar. Makes sound by wave motion.
Organ of Corti, Keith Atttenborough. Changes the highwaysound in organ like music. How does it work? Unknown
Xylofoonroad. Makes mucis out of the movent of bikes/cars.

MASTERPLAN AREA Aim masterplan: Connect the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and make the existing stronger. This will hopefully result in a more lively and used area.
Sports as connecting activity
Improve quality of connections.
Densify a specific area (center), and introduce sharp boundaries
Introduce a W-E route for slow traffic.
