Service: Naamsestraat - Reduce night noise through technology and nudging

Responsible organisation: Leuven City (Local Government)

The Naamsestraat in Leuven is a so-called transit street along which people return home after going out in the center. This regularly causes night-time noise problems at night. The City of Leuven wants to remedy this in the context of an integrated approach to nightlife nuisance in which prevention and repression go hand in hand and are reinforced through technological applications. Naamsestraat will function as a living lab to gain experience in the use of nudging techniques with real-time control based on targeted data capture: definition of disturbing night noise and technological automation of an objectified recognition thereof; mapping the disturbing night noise; control of nudging techniques based on the real-time detected night noise; and secondly, schedule interventions using predictive models and initiate them based on real time detections Working on a liveable city by, among other things, tackling night noise and other nightlife-related nuisance is part of the 2020-2025 administrative agreement of the city of Leuven. Various stakeholders and partners are involved in this.
