MithraSIG implements the following railway emission models:

Description  | 
NMPB08  | 
Model published in June 2009 by SETRA.  | 
CNOSSOS-EU  | 
Adaptation of the model from Harmonoise and Imagine projects for the EU noise mapping from 2017.  | 
For NMPB each source(with speed V) has its own reference spectrum as well as the corresponding reference speed and corresponding slope factor.
The correction in these conditions is:
slope* log10(V/Vref)
Notice that without this correction, a faster train would produce less noise: its presence is shorter on each track.
Theory introduces a correcting term in 10*logV to quantify this phenomena.
The slope has often a value of 30 so that globally a faster train makes more noise!
