Highway traffic noise is the one of the most frequent pollutant source of environmental claims in Korea for the last 10 years. For abating the noise from the highways, characteristics of highway noise source should be investigated and identified before performing the abatements. Highway noises are affected by traffic volume, vehicle types and speed, tyre and pavement types. In this study, highway noises which measured from different pavements have been analyzed and compared. Especially, the noise from the asphalt concrete pavement, cement concrete pavement and low-noise pavement have been measured simultaneously at the same traffic condition and compared each other. Hopefully, the data of the study may be used for abating highway noise and further studies.

Precise highway traffic noise simulation and reduction require the accurate data for sound power levels omitted by vehicles, varied to road surface, traffic speed, vehicle types and makers, different from countries to countries. In this study, we have elaboratively measured Korea highway traffic noise and parameters affecting noise levels at the nearside carriageway edge. From numerical simulation using the measured results for highway traffic noise, we propose not only two correction factors to enhance the accuracy of Korea highway traffic sound power estimation using ASJ Model-1998 but also its typical power spectrum according to road surface type. The measured and predicted highway traffic noise levels using the proposed sound power show little difference within 1 dB.

음성인식 시스템의 실용화 과정에서 훈련환경과 테스트 환경의 불일치로 인한 인식성능의 저하는 반드시 극복되어야 할 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 잡음 tR인 입력음성의 비음성구간에서 잡음레벨을 추정하여 음성 스펙트럼에서 추정된 잡음레벨을 빼는 스펙트럼 차감법고 스펙트럼 영역에서 미리 정해진 마스킹 레벨보다 낮은 에너지 값을 마스킹 레벨로 올려주는 잡음 마스킹을 함께 사용함으로써 훈련 환경과 테스트환경의 불일치를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 복수의 마스킹 레벨에 대한 모델들을 미리 만들어 두고 추정된 잡음 레벨에 따라 적합한 마스킹 레벨의 보델을 사용하여 인식을 수해？는 다중 모델 방법을 적용하였다. 자동차 소음환경에서 두 가지 마스킹 레벨에 대한 모델을 이용한 화자독립고립단어 인식 실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 방식은 정차중 무시동 환경에서 95.8%, 정차중 시동 환경에서 95.6%, 한적한 도로환경에서 92.8%, 복잡한 시내도로 환경에서 89.6%, 고속도로 환경에서 74.4%의 인식성능을 나타내었으며, 평균 90.7%의 성능을 얻을 수 있다.

Installing noise barriers is the most common method for reducing the highway traffic noise to the road side residential area. After the report about edge potential concept of a noise barrier, various types of noise reducing devices(NRDs) called "noise reducers" have been suggested for getting more shielding effect on the top of highway noise barriers. But, it has been doubtful about effect of the NRDs in field because there was no appropriate and unified method to estimate the acoustic performance by using field measurement of the NRDs in Korea. In this study, the authors have considered to setup a practical method to test and estimate the acoustic performance of NRDs. For eliminating the noise reduction effect of the NRDs height itself, the source and measuring points are adjusted as highly as the NRDs height. For the frequency weighting in the estimation of the NRDs effect, the highway noise spectra were measured at asphalt and concrete road side and then averaged for a unit spectral parameter.
