Development of a traffic noise prediction model for an urban environment
Noise and Health, 2014 The objective of this study is to develop a traffic noise model under diverse traffic conditions in metropolitan cities. The model has been developed to calculate equivalent traffic noise based on four input variables i.e. equivalent traffic flow (Q e ),
