The pilot project for detecting and discouraging loud vehicles on the N525 is being extended by one year and expanded with new technology.
The goal is not only to measure traffic noise but also to gain a better understanding of it and influence it in a targeted manner.

Smarter link between vehicle and noise
This pilot investigates whether traffic-related noise levels can be better understood by linking vehicle passes to existing noise measurements in public spaces.
This provides concrete insight into which vehicles are responsible for noise peaks and when disturbances occur.

Expansion with radar, ANPR, and a dashboard
The pilot is being expanded to include:
• Radar to distinguish between motorcycles, passenger cars, and heavy goods vehicles
• An ANPR camera for license plate recognition and immediate display on the LED screen
• An online dashboard that integrates noise data with the corresponding vehicle information

This combination makes it possible to both directly influence road user behavior and conduct in-depth analysis simultaneously.

Practical application
The measurement setup is located on the N525, just past the A1 overpass in the direction of Hilversum.
The radar and ANPR camera are aimed at the roadway rather than the adjacent cycle path, ensuring that measurements remain targeted and reliable.

From insight to action
With this expansion, the pilot is evolving into a powerful tool for policymakers.
Continuous monitoring and smart sensor technology provide an objective picture of traffic noise and a solid foundation for effective measures.
