Abstract
Domestic economic development, industrialization, and urbanization have brought along not only increased highway traffic but also elevated traffic noise levels. Thus, it is necessary to accurately predict the traffic noise levels in order to address the public demand of alleviating the noise levels in urban areas. In this study, the method of evaluating the sound power level of road traffic was investigated in terms of considering the types of road surface and vehicle, based on previous researches. Regarding CPX (Close Proximity Test) and Pass-by test, the measured noise data of Test Road of Korea Highway Corporation were utilized in order to construct the database of sound power levels of various vehicles. Specifically, the 38 noise measurement and analysis in 1/1-octave band frequencies at 12 pre-selected sites were carried out, considering topography and road surface. Finally, the comparison study was conducted between predicted and measured data in terms of traffic noise. The traffic noise prediction was based on the KRON (Korea Road Noise) program, which was developed being equipped wit 3-dimensional GUI. In addition, the traffic noise characteristics were evaluated in terms of vehicle types and pavement surface conditions.
