Influence of vehicle noise emission directivity on sound level distribution in a canyon street. Part II: Experimental verification

In the paper, predictions of relative sound level distribution on building fa�ades in city-centres obtained by using the simulation PROP11 program are compared with measurements. The simulation involves the geometry of surrounding buildings, road geometry (number of lanes and their positions) and traffic structure (vehicle flow rates and their average speeds). The agreement between measurement and simulation results is tested for different directivity characteristics of an equivalent point source representing the vehicles.(A) "Reprinted with permission from Elsevier"
