Calculation of Road
Traffic Noise
STAGE 1
Divide road into segments
There are 4 segments :
Segment S (south)
Segment W (west)
Segment N (north)
Segment E (east)

Stage 2
Stage 2
b) Heavy Vehicle (p%)
Which
: V = 60 km/jam
p = 15 %
Base on equation (page 41)
Correction = 33 Log10 (V + 40 +
500/V)
+10Log10 (1+ 5p/V)
68,8 dB(A)
= 33 Log10 (60 + 40 +
500/60)
+ 10Log10 (1+ 5 x 15/60)
68,8
= 1,87 dB (A) +1,9 dB (A)

b) Correction for ground absorption
Assuming that in juction the intervening Pavement Cover
(I) is non- absorbent, (I = 0). (Line 20.1
c) Correction for potential barrier
There is no intervening obstruction , correction for potential
barrier is 0 (line 21).
Total correction of propagation for segmen S
= 0,2 dB (A) + 0 + 0
= +0,2 dB (A)

COMBINING NOISE LEVEL
Stage 5
= 75,9 dB (A)
= 64,7 dB (A)
= 62,3 dB (A)
= 66,4 dB (A)
Stage 5
Stage 5
Chart 11 and equation (i) page 49
Segment S contributes the biggest noise level so this
segment become parameter in Combining noise level.
- Segment S to W
S-W = 75,9 64,7
= +11,2 dB(A)
Stage 5
- Segment S to N
S-N
= 75,9 62,3
= +13,6 dB(A)
Segment S to E
S-E
= 75,9 66,4
= +9,5 dB(A)
= +76,866 dB(A)
= +77 dB(A)
Stage 5
Using equation (ii) page 49
Segment S
AntiLog10 (Ls/10) = AntiLog10
Segment W
AntiLog10 (Ls/10) = AntiLog10
Segment N
AntiLog10 (Ls/10) = AntiLog10
Segment E
AntiLog10 (Ls/10) = AntiLog10
(75,9/10)
= 38904514,5
(64,7/10)
= 2951209,227
(62,3/10)
= 1698243,652
(66,4/10)
= 4365158,322
CONCLUSION
1. Predicted value of L10 (18-hour) is 77 dB(A).
2. This case shows that the major contribution to the overall
predicted noise level comes from the noise segment which
actually passes the reception point (segment S).
3. The correction for angle of view generally reducing the
significance of the other segments in this calculation.
4. The combined contribution to the overall noise level from
segments W,E and N is only 0.9 dB(A).
