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.

EXAMPLE TOOLBOX: NEW SOURCE

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.

The infrastructure divides the area in to islands, all residential areas are focused on a centre away from the high-way, business areas only use the high-way as advertisement possibility.

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.
