Feature overview

Overview

dhwaniPRO® enables modellers to simulate multiple scenarios to assess noise from sources, layouts, and mitigation such as barriers. It supports ISO 9613 (Parts 1 & 2) and CRTN (UK DoT, 1988), ensuring regulatory compliance. The software quantifies noise impact zones, tests mitigation options, and generates defensible outputs for EIAs and regulatory submissions.
