Just like the other countries in the world, urban road traffic noise pollution is widespread in China, and with the acceleration of its urbanization process, noise pollution continuously arises. However, China’s legislation and governance measures on noise pollution control began in 1989, which is relatively late. Based on the urban road traffic noise pollution status and typical cities’ measures in China, and combined with the successful experiences of developed countries, this paper analyzes the causes and puts forward corresponding prevention and control measures from five aspects, such as improving the laws and regulations, focusing on planning and design, thinking highly of Noise Mapping, carrying out special noise reduction projects and strengthening management measures, as a reference for the relevant jurisdictions and scientific researchers.

Rapid Urbanization

Noise pollution due to road traffic is a potential threat to human health. Since it is a global hazard, the rapid urbanization and exponential traffic growth have aggravated the problem. Population residing along the busy traffic lanes is continuously exposed to the sound levels which are above the permissible limits. This constant exposure to noise pollution is a cause of concern as it leads to several adverse impacts on human health. Traffic noise causes irritation and annoyance, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular disease, risk of stroke, diabetes, hypertension and loss of hearing. It results in decreased work performance. The present review highlights the serious health hazards of road traffic noise (RTN) which needs to be curbed. Preventive measures of noise pollution can help in combating noise-induced health hazards and increased work performance.

The Impact

Noise pollution is a critical factor and it has an important impact on public health, with the relationship between road traffic noise (RTN) and several illnesses in urban areas of particular concern. Andorra is currently developing a national strategy regarding noise pollution in their urban environments. The Ministry of Environment, Agriculture and Sustainability is trying to to identify, monitor, map and model the effects of noise pollution and design mitigation policies to reduce the impact in certain priority areas. This analysis should take into account the existence of different types of anomalous noise events (ANEs) present in the street, e.g., horns, people talking, music, and other events that coexist with RTN, to characterize the soundscape of each of the locations. This paper presents a preliminary analysis considering both the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and the duration of the ANEs to evaluate their presence in urban areas in the three different locations in Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany. The experiments conducted required a 10-h recording campaign distributed in the three locations under study, which was evaluated on two different days, one during the week and the other on the weekend. Afterwards, the data were carefully labeled and the SNR of each event was evaluated to determine the potential impact of the four categories under study: vehicles, works, city life and people.

Reduction Effect

In the environment of noise pollution, the noise of pavement is one of the main sources of pollution. It has serious impact on the natural and social environment and interference with people's learning and work. The research shows that the tire or road noise will be a major part of the traffic noise when the car speed is greater than 30km/h and the truck speed is greater than 50km/h [1]. This paper analyzes the status quo of study of rubber asphalt overlay noise reduction and mechanism. Through effective traffic noise test method, we have analysis the noise reduction effect of rubber asphalt overlay. Results of the study shows that rubber asphalt overlay can well reduce road traffic noise and it has a good effect of improving the comfort of driving.

A road traffic noise study was conducted in Lahore at 18 busy places of high traffic flow in peak working hours of the day. It has been found that the day time average noise level has crossed the permissible limit of 85dB(A) at 90% busy points in the city. The maximum average noise level recorded in Lahore was 104 dB(A). This high level attributed to vehicular traffic specially auto rickshaw with ineffective silencers (without filters) and frequent use of the pressure horns by buses, wagons and trucks etc. The findings of the survey provide enough baseline data for engineering controls and interim legislation against traffic noise pollution.

Sound Separation

Noise pollution has become a growing concern in public health. The availability of low-cost wireless acoustic sensor networks permits continuous monitoring of noise. However, real acoustic scenes are composed of irrelevant sources (anomalous noise) that overlap with monitored noise, causing biased evaluation and controversy. One classical scene is selected in our study. For road traffic noise assessment, other possible non-traffic noise (e.g., speech, thunder) should be excluded to obtain a reliable evaluation. Because anomalous noise is diverse, occasional, and unpredictable in real-life scenes, removing it from the mixture is a challenge. We explore a fully convolutional time-domain audio separation network (ConvTasNet) for arbitrary sound separation. ConvTasNet is trained by a large dataset, including environmental sounds, speech, and music over 150 hours. After training, the scale-invariant signal-to-distortion ratio (SI-SDR) is improved by 11.40 dB on average for an independent test dataset. ConvTasNet is next applied to anomalous noise separation of traffic noise scenes. We mix traffic noise and anomalous noise at random SNR between -10 dB to 0 dB. Separation is especially effective for salient and long-term anomalous noise, which smooth the overall sound pressure level curve over time. Results emphasize the importance of anomalous noise separation for reliable evaluation.

Harbin City

With the continuous development of social economy and urbanization in our country, noise pollution has become the fourth largest environment pollution in our country but water pollution, air pollution, solid waste pollution, which is the widest influence of traffic noise. In recent years, with the development of automobile industry and urban transportation, road traffic noise pollution in Harbin phenomenon is increasingly prominent, which seriously affected the People's daily life. Through detailed survey we found that the research on road traffic noise pollution situation in Harbin is very less, and part of the evaluation is not accurate. In this paper, firstly the characteristics of road traffic noise and noise evaluation index selection is discussed in detail. The xuefu road sections in Harbin city traffic noise and traffic noise pollution monitoring research in detail strict accordance with national standards. According to monitoring data of xuefu road traffic noise pollution source in time and space distribution analysis, the roughly the time distribution and spatial distribution of xuefu road traffic flow. By the overall analyzed monitoring data characteristic, the xuefu road traffic noise pollution is serious. According the previous analysis and research, the researchers find out the main factors influencing the xuefu road traffic condition, and we puts forward some countermeasures for the noise reduction. Through the study of this paper, that is to Harbin city xuefu road for the future of the road traffic noise monitoring and management work provide favorable basis, and it has good practical application value. It aimed at Harbin city road traffic noise control, urban planning and construction, provide theoretical basis for government decisions.

Vehicle Propulsion

The noise pollution is an important factor for people living near roads. The road traffic noise is endangering the health of these residents and the quality of their lives. The tyre / road noise became the most significant source of the road traffic noise due reduced noise emissions from the vehicle propulsion system by the automotive industry. An important recent trend is increasing the traffic safety by improving anti-skid properties of roads in critical locations. Experts have concluded that some anti-skid modifications may increase the noise pollution. Because the usage of such pavements is predominantly in urban areas, problems may occur. This paper deals with the noise level of the safety anti-skid modification of the road surface used in the urban areas. Based on the presented measurement values it can be said that the RocbindaTM safety anti-skid modification does not achieve any increased acoustic performance compared to the asphalt pavement.
