Previsão do ruído ambiental urbano devido à implantação do Modal Veículo Leve sobre Trilhos (VLT) por meio de simulação computacional.

The study aimed to evaluate the environmental noise impact of a Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) implementation in an urban agglomeration roadway of Cuiabá-Várzea Grande/MT, Brazil. Using simulation computer, the results showed that, the noise polution sti ll remain above the criteria level, requiring implementation of unified management strategies to mitigate the urban noise pollution.
