Traffic noise is a kind of noise caused by cars, trains and aircraft. Among them, noise produced by cars is the most important factor in cities. According to the National Institute of Environmental Research(NIER)'s survey, Road traffic noise levels in Susan are the highest of all the cities in Korea. So, appropriate measures for road traffic noise reduction is required. For this purpose, the construction of a noise map in Susan will playa vital role. However, road traffic noise formulas are constructed considering regional characteristics such as each country road's environment and vehicle quality. Therefore, prior to constructing a noise map in Susan, examination processes about each formula constituent status and estimation process are required preferentially. In this research, the basic first stage is to estimate Susan's road traffic noise. First, investigate characteristics of each road traffic noise estimate and using this, a noise map is constructed for road traffic noise in Susan. Then the adaptation of a road traffic noise formula is evaluated.

PURPOSES : A study on the efforts to minimize the road traffic noise has been underway. An attempt has been made to measure the noise level using a noise map; however, the attempt is limited to certain areas only. In general, a noise barrier is employed to prevent road traffic noise; however, unplanned noise barriers developed without considering the surrounding environment, including excessively high walls, cause problems such as infringement on prospect right. Noise ceiling at daytime in Korea is 68 dB(A), which is relatively higher than in other countries. METHODS: The noise barrier used mainly for road noise reduction was analyzed to estimate the optimal height. Related variables such as road width, the height of the upper part, distance to the building, and angle (for instance, $30^{\circ}$). RESULTS : A formula to calculate the optical height of the noise barrier, considering the road environment (i.e., parameters such as road width and distance to building), was developed in this study in an attempt to mitigate the noise generated from the road. CONCLUSIONS : The formula to calculate the noise barrier is expected to lead to cost saving, accurate installation of barriers, and protection of the right of prospect.

본 연구에서는 소음에 대한 이론적 연구와 도로교통소음에 관하여 살펴보았다. 그리고 국내의 도로소음예측모델을 다른 선진국의 모델과 비교 분석하여 예측인자의 적용현황 및 적용상의 문제점을 도출하였다. 일반식 정립을 위한 사례연구에서는 국립환경연구원에서 제안한 식에 적용한 예측치와 실측치를 비교하여 국내의 도로교통소음 예측모델의 개선점을 살펴보았다. 또한 소음에 대한 통행량과 속도의 관계를 고찰해보기 위해서, 이 식에서 주요 요인으로 사용한 통행량과 속도의 두 요인 중에서 무엇이 더 큰 영향을 가지는지를 회귀분석을 통하여 속도가 통행량보다 더 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 도로소음을 줄이기 위해서는 차량의 통행량의 고려도 중요하지만 차량의 속도 규제가 더욱 중요하다고 볼 수 있다. 지구보정치 도출을 위한 사례연구에서는 도로교통소음이 단지내에 공간적으로 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 세 아파트 단지의 도로교통소음을 측정하여 비교 분석함으로써 도로교통소음은 단지내에 평면적 입체적으로 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 즉, 소음원에서 거리가 멀어질수록 소음의 크기가 적어지고, 높은 위치로 올라갈수록 소음의 크기는 증가하다가 어느 정도 높이 이상에서는 다시 소음의 크기는 줄어들고, 소음의 방향에 장애물이 있을 경우 소음의 영향이 줄어들었다. 따라서 단지내에 소음이 미치는 영향을 이러한 점들을 고려하여 공간적으로 파악한 단지 설계를 해야 한다.

In Korea, the current noise impact assessment has not yet considered the vertical noise propagation property by buildings and other obstacles. And noise control plan has been established without conducting the economic assessment for the noise control facilities. A noise map is used to calculate the noise level based on a theoretical formula or an empirical formula, and also predict the characteristics of vertical propagation by linking with a geometry data. And It is Possible to analyze cost-effect of noise control facilities by consider installation costs. In this study, we addressed the application of noise map for noise impact assessment and cost-effect analysis of noise control facilities.

This paper is. a study on relation between road traffic noise(RTN) and sound power level(PWL). At present, many experimental formulae and prediction formulae are used for prediction of RTN. But these formulae are difficult to appiy to the metropolitan area because these formulae are inaccurate in the different condition from reference condition. This paper calculate RTN and PWL of each prediction formula, choose the best one and make a noise map of the subject area. Procedure is as follows. First, calculate $L_{eq}$ of RTN using experimental formulae and prediction formulae. Second, calculate PWL using $L_{eq}$ of RTN and distance attenuation for point source at semi-free field. Third, choose the most accurate formula. And finally, make a noise map of the subject area at present and future. The result using noise map will be able to apply to application field. Noise mapping tool used on this paper is Raynoise program using Ray Tracing Method(RTM), Mirror Image Source Method(MISM) and Hybrid Method(HM).

This study investigates which sound quality indices except SPL raise annoyance response. For investigation, auditory perception experiments for road traffic noise with identical linear SPL were performed by Paired Comparison Method. The numerical results of a Paired Comparison experiment express relative preference about annoyance. So that these relative preference scores are to be correlated to sound quality indices, which are absolute, a transformation is required to go from the relative domain to an absolute and linear scale of preference. The results of the transformation will be the 'merit values,' which quantifies the annoyance(in this case) of the road traffic noise on a linear scale. Using multiple regression, a formula is established that can calculate predicted merit values. Furthermore, This investigation offers a method selecting sound samples that represent various sound quality indices values to use experiment.

Actually, prediction formula of road traffic noise for EIA(Environmental Impact Assessment) has been used that proposed by National Institute of Environmental Research in 1999. The prediction formula, however, was calculated predicted noise level according to noise level producing on first floor, then needs to correct noise level at each floor in the case of apartment building. The investigation was carried out to calculate the correction coefficient for commonly using in EIA of large scaled apartment development areas. The noised level at each floor were measured from August 2001 to March 2002 at 31 investigation points of large scaled apartment development area in national wide. Measured data were divided and treated with 4 types as 3th floor, 5th floor, 7th floor and 10th floor and then the correction coefficients of each floor were calculated using by correlation formula according to each floor.

본 연구는 국내 도시개발 및 택지개발에서 많이 사용되고 있는 국립환경과학원식('99)에 대한 평가 및 검증을 수행하였다. 국립환경과학원식(NIER('99))은 두 변수 사이의 일차적인 관계가 얼마나 강한 정도를 제시하기 위해 결정계수($R^2$)와 표본 Pearson 상관계수(r)를 실측치와 예측치를 토대로 층별로 평가한 결과 1층 92.4%(r=0.96), 3층 38.7%(r=0.66), 5층 42$(r=0.65), 7층 7.5%(r=0.27), 10층 28.4%(r=0.53), 13층 35.6%(r=0.60), 15층 52.7%(r=0.73) 등의 결과를 보였다 선형 회귀를 통해 반응 변수(Y)와 예측 변수(X) 사이의 선형 관계를 조사하여 모형화하고 검증하기 위한 결과 1층을 제외한 모든 층에서 종속변수를 설명할 수 있는 기여율이 60% 이하로 회귀모형의 설명력이 상당히 떨어지는 것이 1.5 m 이상 높이에서 예측식 수립이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 등분산성을 토대로 잔차(residual) 대 적합지(fitted value)를 선택하여 예측식을 검증한 결과 1층의 경우 이상적 분포로 적합치에서 잔차들이 -5와 5 사이에 분포되어 있지만 1층을 제외한 나머지 층에 대해서는 이분산 혹은 비선형 분포로 잔차들이 -5에서 5사이에 분포되고 있는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a novel method to determine sound power level(PWL) emitted by a travelling vehicle for road traffic noise simulation. The PWL is evaluated by the equivalent sound pressure level (SPL) measured by close proximity method and the sound power correction factor derived from the maximum SPL measured by pass-by method and the propagation attenuation of vehicle noise during the pass-by measurement. Using the method, we derive the empirical formula for PWL estimation in 1/1-octave and overall frequency bands for 8 vehicles (automobile, SUV, small truck, large bus, trailer, 3 dump trucks) tested at two road surfaces (dense graded asphalt, 30mm transverse tinning concrete) of Korean highway test road. The suggested approach, if securing sufficient data to represent the acoustic characteristics of all vehicle types, has il strong merit to be able to evaluate sound power levels for any combination of vehicle categories and traffic volumes.
