METHOD OF PREDICTING LEQ (TIME-AVERAGED MEAN-SQUARE SOUND PRESSURE) CREATED BY URBAN TRAFFIC
The time-averaged overall mean-square sound pressure created by statistically stationary traffic travelling a finite, straight road segment is determined explicitly. This result is extended to a system of roads by using digital simulation. Theoretical predictions for a typical urban conurbation show encouraging agreement with measured values. Therefore the technique appears to offer a practical means of evaluating community plans before the introduction of road systems and changes in trunk routes and traffic controls, etc, are realized.(a) /TRRL/
