In fact, trasie noise impacts the people, more than any other environmental noise source. The effets ‘of noise pollution ae varied and mostly depend fon the noise intensity, frequency and the petiod of time it manifests. Poor hearing, dizziness, stress, loss of concentration, dificulty to work, Team, rest relax, sleep etc. ae the most common, symptoms of noise pollution on human beings. ‘The noite pollution is. characteristic problem ‘of contemporary urhan settlements, whici comprise a large number of noise-generating sources such as road, rail or ar trafic, industries, ‘marketplaces etc. The level of traffic noise on roads mainly depends on the volume of trafic, speed of the trafic, type of surfacing and type of vehicles plying on roads. Vehicle noise is a combination ofthe noises producedby theengine, ‘exhaust, and tyres, The loudness of affienoiseis also increased by defective or old vehicles. Any condition such asa steep gredient which causes heavy labouring of vehicles’ engine increases traffic noise levels ‘The eacophony of noise in the modern world ‘may be annoying to many and literally enough to make some people sick. Fortunately, new technologies are emerging worldwide to combat noise pollution. Some noise reduction measures include creating buffer zones, constructing barriers, planting tees and vegetation, managing, traffic, ete. Attenuation requirements may vary ‘withthe time of occurrence of the noise and the charateristcs and level of the nose Buffer zones are undeveloped open spaces which border a highsvay. Buffer zones should be created when a highway agency acquires land, in addition to the normal right of way so that future dwellings are not constructed close to the highway. This precludes the possibility of constructing dwellings that would otherwise experience an excessive noise level from nearby highway traffic, Noise generated at night would normally require a larger separation distance. {An additional benefit of buffer zones may be that they ean improve the roadside appearance. However, because of the tremendous amount of land which must be acquired and because jn many cases dwellings may already border existing roads, creating buffer zones may not be possible always. Noise barriers can be formed by earth berms along the roads, But creating earth berms may require quitea lot of land, if they are very high, as also earth fom borrow areas. Alternatively, noise barriers ean also be made of wood, concrete, masonry, metal and other materials. Noise barriers should be such that they are visually pleasing and blend well with their suroundings. ‘Noise barriers, however, do have limitations Studies by Federal Highway Administration have revealed that a noise barrier can achieve & =e z TRDIAN HIGHWAYS, TUNE 2009,"5B noise level reduetion vhen itis tall enough 4 to break the line-of-sight from the highway to the receiver and it ean achieve an approximate 1.3 dB addtional noise level reduction for each ‘etre of height after it breaks the line-ofsight. may not always be possible to construct noise barriers if they conflict with the safety, aesthetics ‘oF local community's requirements, Rondside trees and vegetation can be planted for lessening the trafic noise levels. The planting ‘of trees and shrubs may, however, provide only psychological benefits or aesthetic treatment and ‘may not necessarily help in noise abatement ‘eaetation, if itis high and dense enough not to be seen through, may help in decreasing traffic noise levels. However, it may usually not be Possible to plant enough vegetation along the highway to achieve such reductions Studies in Europe have shown that one of the promising approaches to reduce road noise involves the use of rubberized asphalt pavement. } Surfacing with Asphalt Rubber Friction Course (ARC) can achieve considerable noise level Reductions of 3-5 dB when compared to traditional asphalt dense-graded surfeces. and 6-12 dB compared to concrete surfaces. As the {te passes over the pavement, iteauses a change inairpressure between the tyre and the pavement, Which generates sound. ARFC has many ait Pockets which démpen the air pressure gradient and thus reduce sound. In addition, the ARFC surface provides a smoother riding surface than conerete surface because its laid in continuous ‘manner with minimal joints and contains smaller aggregates, Sometimes, noise reductions may also be ‘obtained by shifting the horizontal alignment, Aspressing the carriageway, enforcing operation controls on vehicle types, hours of operation, et. ‘There are constraints, however, on using these solutions, Usually horizontal alignment cannot be shifted, particularly on roads that are to be improved. In other cases, important natural or ‘man-made features gover the vertical alignment and prevent depression of the carriageway. Controlling traffic could sometimes. reduce roise problems, if trucks could be prohibited from certain strets and roads ot if they could be restricted to use certain streets and roads only ‘during some fixed hours ofthe day. Highway trafic noise could be reduced through a program of shared responsibilty. Central and State governments should plan to include noise abatement measures in planning and design of roads, State governments should use their power to regulate land development in such a way that projects of new roads, widening ‘oF improvements fo existing roads should go through the Envitonmental Impact Assessment (GIA) process to assess and evaluate their impact onboth the existingand planned sensitiveusesand to propose and implement practicable mitigation measures to be applied to abst the traffic noise impacts. Public consultstions and involvement is also important in noise reduction on highways. Unless improvements are made in nose source control and land use control, noise abatement efforts by highway agencies will produce meagre resultsat great public cos. This doesnot mean that highway planners and designers should abandon their noise abatement efforts in the development of highway projects, woale RPE (P.tndoria) Secretary General INDIAN HIGHWAYS, TUNESIOD 3 BRIAN HOHIAYS JUNE 2009REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON “QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL IN ROAD AND BRIDGE PROJECTS” TO BE HELD AT CHANDIGARH ON 25 & 26 JUNE 2009 ‘On the invitation of Govt, of Punjab, IRC will be organizing, a Regional Workshop at Chandigarh on 25 & 26 tune 2009 for | YJ Northern region in Which engineers fom the States of Punjab, : Haryana, Delhi, Rejesthan, UT Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, | wmmessmne Urtorakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Border Roads | *yiimetatase™™™ Organisation, DDA, CPWD, MCD, NDMC, NRRDA, CRI, MOSRT&H and NHAT including Costroctors” representatives will We paricipate, This Workshop is designed fr practicing Highway and | ==" 7 Bridge Engineers and wll includ the following Themes: 8) Quality Assurance System (QAS) and ‘Total Quality ‘Management (TQM) in Road and Bridge Projects 1) Quality Conirol in Flexible Pavement ©) Quality Control in Rigid Pavement 4) Quality Control in Bridges and other Structures (Flyovers etc) ©) Quality Audits by Third Parties or Centralised System at State Level 4) Equipment Selection, Operation and Management The venue of the Workshop is at the Confederation of Indian Industries (CID), Seetor 314, Chandigarh. “The registration fee for the Workshop is Rs 2000 per delegate.
