The design method used for the calculation of levels of noise caused by tramway transport in Slovakia (Liberko, 1991) has been in effect since 1991. Based on the knowledge acquired from foreign literature and comparisons with the design methodology applied in other countries, it is obvious that there is a need to re-evaluate some parts of this design method. In particular, a higher number of input parameters should be taken into account. The layout/location of the railway line is one of the parameters that significantly influence the level of noise. As this parameter has not yet been involved in the calculations, this paper analyses the possibilities and grounds for its use in noise prognoses [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
