Noise generated by Road Traffic
Estimate noise level generated by traffic. This tool calculates hourly traffic noise levels based on vehicle count, speed, and percentage of heavy vehicles.
Noise Level Estimation
Estimate the hourly noise level generated by road traffic based on:
- Number of vehicles per hour
- Road speed (reference: 75 km/h)
- Percentage of heavy vehicles
How to use:
- Enter the number of vehicles per hour
- Enter the percentage of heavy vehicles (0-100%)
- Use the reference charts to determine base noise level for 75 km/h speed
- Add the heavy vehicle correction factor
Example:
- 100 vehicles/hour at 75 km/h = 62 dBA
- 15% heavy vehicles correction = +3 dBA
- Total = 65 dBA
