FHWA Traffic Noise Model Version 1.0b

The FHWA TNM Version 1.0b is the latest update to the Version 1.0 release package. It requires the complete release package for use. This update is independent of the V1.0a update. It can be performed whether or not the V1.0a update has already been performed.

This version includes the following:

• Addressed additional fatal floating-point error crashes.
• Implemented an error-catching mechanism. .
• Implemented two small changes in the acoustics.
• Addressed data base (DB) errors.
• Implemented two new input error checks.

To use Version 1.0b, download TNM1_0B.EXE, rename it to TNM.EXE, and then replace the existing TNM.EXE file located in your TNM/PROGRAM directory with the new executable file.

The previous version of NMPlot was having difficulties running on very fast computers (typically faster than 200 MHz) giving some users a runtime error message. The developer of NMPlot has recently released a new DOS version of NMPLOT, Version 3.06, which corrects this error. To use Version 3.06, replace the existing NMPLOTX.EXE file located in your TNM/PROGRAM/NMPLOT directory with the new executable file.
