Traffic Noise Modelling Considering Traffic Compositions at Roundabouts
2021As the traffic volume is increasing in urban areas, their major effect can be seen in terms of noise near roundabouts. An effort has been made in this work to evaluate the noise level near a roundabout in terms of certain noise-level descriptors such as Leq, L10, L50 and L90 to estimate the maximum and pervasive noise climate existing at the ...

Noise properties in the Nagel-Schreckenberg traffic model
Physical Review E, 2001The jamming transition in the stochastic traffic cellular automaton model of Nagel and Schreckenberg is examined. The behavior of the power spectrum is analyzed. Numerical results are presented. Satisfactory analytical approximations are established in both low frequency and high frequency regions.

Simplifying prediction method for traffic noise based on FHWA traffic noise model
2011 International Symposium on Water Resource and Environmental Protection, 2011Based on analyzing and discussion of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) traffic noise model, a new simplifying prediction method, which shows the connection between the traffic noise increment with increase of traffic volume, was put forward. In addition, the applications of the simplifying prediction method and its application qualifications were ...

Traffic Generated Noise Models
Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1977In-situ noise level surveys have become an important part of environmental impact studies that have been prepared for proposed new and improved roadways. Since these studies are very costly, it is imperative that the engineer provide the client, the road user, and the taxpayer with information that will aid them in evaluating proposed improvements.

Road traffic noise: self-reported noise annoyance versus GIS modelled road traffic noise exposure
Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2011self-reported road traffic noise annoyance is commonly used in epidemiological studies for assessment of potential health effects. Alternatively, some studies have used geographic information system (GIS) modelled exposure to road traffic noise as an objective parameter. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between noise exposure due to

A simulation model for urban traffic noise
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999Urban traffic noise is studied by a simulation model whose main features are the following: effects of traffic lights, speed limit, possibility of vehicles overtaking, and driving styles. In the model there is a basic assumption about driver’s behavior (‘‘follow the leader’’), considering the case of straight and level road with two lanes for every ...

Fuzzy modeling of traffic noise annoyance
Proceedings Joint 9th IFSA World Congress and 20th NAFIPS International Conference (Cat. No. 01TH8569), 2002This paper presents a fuzzy rule-based model for the prediction of traffic noise annoyance. Several inference schemes are compared for their performance in prediction capabilities as well as in speed. It is shown that the fastest implementation does an equally good job, after optimization of certainty degrees attached to the rules.

A model of interrupted road traffic noise
Applied Acoustics, 1999Freely flowing road traffic is interrupted by a stopping line. Traffic is mainly from light vehicles, because the number of trucks, buses, etc., is negligible. Vehicles are cruising or stopping, and the traffic flows in both directions is approximately equivalent.

Development of the Traffic Noise Prediction Model
Asian Journal of Water, Environment and Pollution, 2007The high traffic density in urban areas is one of the main sources of noise that degrade the general environment. As the traffic noise is more fluctuating than the industry noise, it inflicts more serious damage to the health of human beings and lowers their labour productivity.

Studies on Road Traffic Noise Based on Models of Traffic Flow
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1977Abstract In this paper, the exponentially distributed vehicles model in which attenuation effect of noise is taken into consideration was treated in the first place. The mean and the variance of sound intensity and approximate expression for mean of sound pressure level (SPL) were derived.
