AbstractBased on the local road traffic conditions in Beijing, China, this contribution proposes a rapid modeling method for road traffic noise sources. Since establishing the standardized experiment fields are expensive, real roads are used to determine the road traffic noise emission model in the method. Due to the similarity in the urban structures in China and Japan, this paper uses the ASJ- 2013 model as a template and replaces its model parameters with the ones output by an optimization program which minimizes the sum of absolute errors between the predicted and the measured LAeq. Real road experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the modeling method. The mean error of the model deduced by the method and the ASJ-2013 model is respectively 0.4 dB and 2.6 dB, and the mean absolute error of the two models is respectively 1.1 dB and 2.6 dB. The results of the real road experiments show that the road traffic noise sources deduced by the method are more accurate to conduct local noise prediction than those of other models.

The objective of this research is to develop a mathematical model to predict the road traffic noise level at the bus stop, to assess the level of noise that users of these urban facilities are exposed daily. To help assess the exposure and the environmental impact, sound mapping will be performed using the IMMI software. In the model, the calculation of direct paths and specular reflections and diffuse was adopted. The study was applied in three sections in the city of Maringá, Brazil. At each point, the user was simulated standing and sitting. The sound source was positioned on the axis of each strip, every five meters. In total, 5124 readings of source positions were evaluated in 84 measured points. For the validation, the Anderson-Kurze, Kang, Yang and Zhang, Bistafa and Naish model were applied, and then the t-Student test were applied. The results showed a correspondence between the developed model, the data of the measurements and the reference models in the range of 25 Hz to 10000 Hz, there was a greater variance between the models applied in the high frequencies. It is concluded that the model was able to estimate the sound level of the stretches evaluated.

Noise Map

The influence of applying European default traffic values to the making of a noise map was evaluated in a typical environment like Palma de Mallorca. To assess these default traffic values, a first model has been created and compared with measured noise levels. Subsequently a second traffic model, improving the input data used for the first one, has been created and validated according to the deviations. Different methodologies were also examined for collecting model input data that would be of higher quality, by analysing the improvement generated in the reduction in the uncertainty of the noise map introduced by the road traffic noise emission.
