Evaluation and Analysis of Road Traffic Noise on a National Highway
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Noise pollution has been well recognized as one of the major cause of concern that impacts the quality of life in urban areas across the globe. Traffic noise from highways creates problems in the surrounding areas specially when there are higher traffic volume and high speeds. In the present study, the traffic noise along a highway corridor on NH222 passing near Kalyan city, Maharashtra, have been observed and measured at various location by sound level meter(Bruel and Kjaer type 225). The traffic noise prediction at all the locations has been done by FHWA model. The percentage error between the observed and predicted values of noise level has been calculated. An agreement diagram has been plotted between the observed and predicted values of noise level and it indicates that noise level predicted by FHWA model lie within an error band of 10% with reference to the observed values of the noise level. Present study indicates that FHWA model can be used for the prediction of noise level for Indian conditions.
