Traffic noise pollution is a growing problem that highly affects the health of people in urban areas. In order to implement effective measures against traffic noise the noise mapping about its distribution is imperative. Urban traffic noise maps will help to establish the existing baseline so that we will be able to look for the effective way to control the noise. They will also let us see in an understandable and visual way how noise spreads from roads into residential areas. In this paper we considered three development types between roads and residential areas, and applied the interpolation of ArcGIS for noise attenuation with distance from the roads to find the noise level at the parcels positions in residential areas, and then generated the noise map using the interpolated results. Therefore we present results that the traffic noise level within residential areas exceed the national noise standard and also can estimate the noise level of individual parcels. These results can be used for traffic noise control planning or assessment of officially assessed land price in near future.

The noise problem became more serious by the rapid urban population growth and traffic. This study estimates the noise level considering actual traffic volume and building shape and location. Based on the state of the arts noise level, changing amount of noise that was controlled by the speed control and truck and passenger car restriction is calculated. Some conclusion is found out. The 2-D type more than 3-D type is more than over standard of noise pollution and night time's over rate is larger than day time. And in the case of various solutions are used instead of applying one solution, noise pollution is effectively reduced.

산업구조의 급속한 발전과 공업화는 사회구조의 변화 및 대도시로의 인구집 중, 고밀도화, 교통량의 증가를 초래하여 이로부터 기인한 도시지역의 환경 오염 문제는 쾌적한 인간생활을 위협하는 단계에까지 이르렀다. 그중에서 소 음에 관한 문제도 대기 및 수질의 오염과 동시에 도시생활 환경에 많은 영 향을 미치게 되었다. 도시 소음의 주 원인은 주로 도로교통소음이며 이는 기 하급수적으로 늘어가는 자동차의 양에 의해 더욱 심해지고 있다. 따라서 현 재 우리나라에서도 주거지역 및 준주거지역 등의 지역별 소음도 규제 및 신 설되는 공동주택 단지에서의 소음레벨규제등이 있긴 하나 이들은 상당히 소 극적이며 미온적일 뿐 아니라 실제 거주하는 주민들의 반응과는 상당한 차 이를 보이고 있으며 더욱이 주민의 소음에 대한 주관적 반응을 적절히 표현 할 수 있는 지표마저 명확하지 않은 실정이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 고찰에서 는 피험자들의 주관적 반응을 실험할 때 발생하는 변수요인들을 통제 할 수 있는 실험 실시행 청감실험을 실시하기에 앞서 대상지역의 도로교통소음을 여러가지 평가척도에 의해 평가한 후 그 현장에서 이 소음에 노출된 피험자 들의 반응을 파악하여 청취자들이 인지하는 소음레벨을 적절히 평가하는 지 표를 찾고자 한다.

소음문제 중 도로교통소음은 가장 다루기 힘든 환경문제로 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 도로교통소음은 도시민에게 직접적인 영향을 끼치고 있어서 우리나라를 포함하여 세계 각국에서 이에 대한 소음규제가 이루어지고 있으면서 환경영향평가나 환경행정목표를 달성하기 위하여 소음기준을 마련하고 띤다. 환경기준은 정부가 지향하는 일종의 목표수준으로서 환경질의 표준과 목표(goal)에 해당하며, 환경오염대책 추진에 있어 행정상의 목표일뿐이기 때문에 가능한 한 이상상태를 생각하여 설정된다. (중략)

Road traffic noise is closely related to road traffic environment, including traffic volumes by type and travel speed. In this study, we stated some issues and analyzed the relationships between road traffic noise and traffic flow characteristics. First, in attempt to find the answer to the question "When does the loudest traffic noise occur?" we reviewed the issue in the terms of traffic flow. As a result of analyzing level of service through Korea Highway Traffic Noise model, the actual maximum noise occurred in level of service D rather than level of service E, on the capacity state. It shows that maximum noise would be most likely to occur right before and after the peak hours. Second, this paper was looking for the method of a more easy and accurate traffic speed estimation to predict traffic noise. This paper proposed sketch planning techniques of speed-volume curve by level of service on Korea Highway Capacity Manual. As a result of trend line modeling, it was judged that quadratic form is a suitable function, and coefficient of determination ($R^2$) was higher than 0.96, respectively.

Road traffic noise is not produced by any one factor rather it occurs as a composition of various factors. Its occurrence is made by running engine noise, tire frictional, and exhaust noise etc. The quality of the noise depends on the size of the vehicles, rotation and engine speed, vehicle load, package state of the road and incline etc. The occurrence of any noise level of heavy trucks appears louder than smaller vehicles and the noise levels produced differs according to speed and load etc between similar size vehicles. Other factors such as traffic density, average speed, mixing rate of heavy vehicles, and the distance between vehicles also generate road traffic noise. In this paper we examine 2, 4, and 6-lane roads in Jeonju. Consequently, this study examines the means used to measure road traffic noise. It was found that when there is a large traffic density and the average velocity is below 70 km/h, the noise level could receive a relative proper value by the current measuring means. But in the case of night-time, it was found that the current measuring method is inapposite.

Urban area is being continuously grown traffic volume due to diverse economic activities. Especially, the traffic noise, which occurs on the road of passing by residential district, is dropping quality of life as negative element of obstructing sleep at night. This study analyzed relationship between the officially notified land price and the traffic noise in residential district by using the estimating equation of traffic noise and GIS. As a result, the officially notified land price on a parcel of residential district along the road was indicated to be higher than a parcel where is located in other place. Even traffic noise was indicated to be higher. Accordingly, a plan is judged to be necessarily arranged that can be made appraisal of the officially notified land price, which is reflected the convenience of life and the quality of life at the same time in consideration even of traffic noise together as element of appraisal given evaluating the officially notified land price in residential district where is located in the downtown.

The old residences and shops in the backside blocks are affected by the traffic noises from the main road. The noise of the backside roads is affected by the following factors such as the height of the roadside buildings, the distance between the road and the backside streets, distance among adjacent roadside buildings, and the difference of the adjacent building heights. The both noise levels on the road and the backside street were measured simultaneously in 15 urban blocks of a city which can be categorized into two types of roadside building plans ; 1) one single building along the street, 2) buildings arranged on one axis beside the road. As the results, there is no significant noise reduction due to the width of the buildings in general. However, in the cases of buildings arranged on one axis beside the road, it was found that the average noise reduction was 12 dB(A) on the basis of the building height of 4 m. Also, it was analysed that for each 4 m increase in the building height, noise reduction occurred by 2 dB(A) beyond building height of 4 m. In general, it was proved that the noise of the back streets is mainly affected by the lowest height of the roadside buildings. It was found that noise is increased by 1 dB(A) for each 4 m increase of the height difference between adjacent buildings. Also, It was revealed that for each 0.5 m increase in the distance between roadside building, noise reduction decreased by 1 dB(A).

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the field applications and the noise reductions of micro surfacing pavement, which is often used to reduce environmental problems. A traffic noise mechanism was analyzed and a modified mix design method was proposed for nighttime constructions. Results on noise measurements using the statistical pass-by method showed noise reductions of 2.0 to 7.1 dB were observed. In addition, results on noise measurements using the close proximity method demonstrated that noise reductions of 5.6 to 6.7 dB were recorded under vehicle speed of 80km/h. The noise measurements revealed that the close proximity method was more stable than the statistical pass-by method. As a result, the effect of micro surfacing pavement on noise reductions was proved through the research. It is considered that the micro surfacing pavement method could be used as a preventive maintenance method and a comfortable noise reducing pavement technique.
