SoundPLAN's ray tracing procedure finds all geometry in the search direction. For
screening and ground absorption, only objects located between the source and the
receiver are evaluated. This means that a noise screen with an angled top like in the
following picture will not be evaluated for the nearest road because the distance
from the screen to the receiver is bigger than from the source to the receiver.

Noise screen with angled top
The solution for this situation is in to define a bridge. The command can even be
used if the noise wall completely covers the road like a gallery. For a gallery, the
screening will be under estimated but the reverberation chamber increases the noise
so that the two effects compensate each other for a first order estimate.
Gallery
As noted above, the conditional bridge commands simulate galleries for a rough
estimate. This approach accounts for the direct influence of the sources upon the
receiver. Due to reflections between the ceiling and the road, there is a diffuse sound
field inside the gallery. The noise from this diffuse scattering must be added to the
direct impact.
