It seems inevitable for residential buildings to be high-rise and allocated near traffic roads due to the overcrowding in urban area. Acoustic environment in those residential buildings has been seriously deteriorated by the increase of traffic vehicles. Commonly used sound barriers have a limitation in controlling noise diffracted over the boundary of a sound barrier and hence are not effective to attenuate noise especially for the residential units in high level. The use of an enclosed noise barrier can be an alternative to supplement the defects of conventional noise barriers. The present work aims at providing useful data in designing enclosed noise barriers for residential areas adjacent to roads. Number of field measurements for various noise barriers and enclosed noise barriers were carried out and the results were discussed with relation to the proper design of enclosed noise barriers.

This study examines the traffic noise reduction effects of the diverse efficiency features of a sunken square, and investigates the reduction effects and characteristics of noise alterations according to the construction conditions in order to verify its possibility as a new noise reduction facility. The measured data were analyzed. As a result, (1) the traffic noise from the roads around the sunken squares exceeded the regulatory standards; (2) the sunken squares were protected from noise; (3) the sunken spaces yielded a greater reduction by 6∼7dB than the flat ground thanks to the diffraction effect; and (4) there were fine changes to noise according to the conditions of space construction. In short, a sunken square has the potential to afford new applications as a noise reduction facility in a highly concentrated downtown with the existing defects solved. In addition, its use for effective noise control is evident based on the noise characteristics of a space. Future studies need to include efforts to provide clearer quantitative data, as well as research on shape, layout, and materials.

The primary objective of this research was to develop optimal models for masking the road traffic noise with the sound of a waterfall at urban small green spaces. Noise levels were measured at 8 roadside green spaces in SEOUL and questionnaires were randomly distributed to 40 users for evaluating the noise at each site at the same time. College students participated in the experiment for the development of masking models and the developed models were tested by users at 2 green spaces. The major results are as follows ; 1. Traffic noises ranged from 65dBto 70 dB. Users' satisfaction with the noise became considerably low on the basis of 60 dB and it was highly related to noise level. 2. Noise was a main factor to depreciate the amenity of green spaces where its level was more than 60 dB and so it neds to be excluded or reduced the traffic noise at the process of design. 3. Masking effects kept constant independent of the spatial location of masker on condition that masker levels were equal. It was effective when masker was 5-10dB greater than noise level which was masked. 4. As noise level went up, satisfaction ratings about the masked noise became low but masking effects increased in proportion to its level. 5. It was proved that the models were valid through the field experiment.

우리나라는 1970년대 이후 시행된 도시계획사업을 통해 도시지역에 대규모 주택단지 및 주거지역이 나타나기 시작하였다. 그리고 개발된 지역에서는 공동주택의 비율이 점차 증가하는 경향이 나타나면서 도로변공동주택의 도로교통소음이 새로운 문제로 대두되었다. 그리고 1980년대 후반이후 공동주택은 15층에 머물던 공동주택은 20-30층의 초고층의 형태로 변모하였고, 최근에는 40층 이상의 공동주택이 등장하면서 도시지역의 주거밀도는 더욱 고밀화 되면서 이로 인하여 도로교통소음은 더욱 증가하게 되었다. 이에 본 연구는 도로변에 위치한 공동주택에 영향을 주는 인자 중 교통량, 통과속도를 변수로 하여 소음지도를 구축하여 저감효율에 대해 살펴보았다. 결과는 교통량과 속도제한의 증감에 따른 변화는 한정된 공간에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 버스중앙차로제는 도로변에 약간의 영향만을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper studied the efficient noise prediction method for new apartment house near the road traffic noise. Three noise prediction software were compared by each prediction noise level using the simple model which is included the road, soundproofing wall and building. Two foreign national calculation models(RLS-90 and NMPB) were verified by comparison of measured sound level. Frequency of sound level was predicted by NMPB and compared by measured data. The sphere of noise source and facade reflection were proposed to accurate predict the road traffic noise in new apartment house.

Acceleration Noise는 교통류의 안정성을 진단하는데 중요한 지표이다. 하지만, 기존의 연구에서는 개별차량의 Acceleration Noise에 대해서만 수행되었고, 거시적 관점에서의 Acceleration Noise에 대해서는 연구가 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 거시적 교통류 모니터링 지표인 Network Acceleration Noise를 제안하고, 이를 분석하여 거시 교통류 모니터링 활용방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

고속도로 이용차량의 증가와 함께 차량의 대형화와 고속화로 인해 고속도로 교통 소음레벨이 높아지고 있으며 저소음 포장노면 및 방음시설 설치 요청도 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 따라서 고속도로 교통소음으로 인한 민원예방과 함께 효율적이고 경제적인 소음저감 대책을 수립하기 위해서는 정확한 소음 예측 기술 마련이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 시험도로에 포설된 다양한 포장노면에 대해서 CPX(Close Proximity Test) 및 Pass-by 소음 계측 방법을 혼용한 소음 계측 데이터를 이용하였고 차종별 단독 주행 시험을 실시하여 차량 및 노면별 음향파워레벨 산정식이 마련된 데이터를 이용하였다. 아울러, 상기 산정식의 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 고속도로 12개 지점에 대한 총 38회의 소음 계측한 데이터를 이용하여 해당 지점에 대한 소음 예측 모델을 구성하여 측정값과 예측값을 비교 평가하였다. 최종적으로 3차원 GUI 기능을 지원하는 도로교통 소음 예측 프로그램 KRON(Korea Road Noise)을 개발하였다. 이와 더불어 각 포장형태별 및 차종별에 따른 소음특성을 분석하였다.

The road traffic noise has been increasing broader effects on urban areas as well as rural areas because of rapidly increasing traffic volume and newly-constructed roads. 10 sites in building development areas were selected and the noise levels were measured by the apartment floors and by the various block plans of apartment complex. The results showed that the highest traffic noise level was obtained at the 5 and 7 floors on the apartment floors. On the basis of 7 floor with the highest level, the correction coefficient obtained from noise reduction by each floor and measurement point was -5.54 dB(A)(1st floors), -0.96 dB(A)(3rd floors), -0.38 dB(A)(5th floors), 0.00 dB(A)(7th floors), -1.98 dB(A)(l0th floors), -3.10 dB(A)(13th floors), -3.45 dB(A)(15th floors). The level of road traffic noise in the arrangement construction of right angle was about 3.0 dB(A) at N-4 point and 2.1 dB(A) at N-6 point lower than that of a plan figure, respectively. The results suggested that application of correction coefficient obtained by the apartment floor and by the arrangement construction can be improved in road traffic noise.

This study was carried out to verificate the possibility of using the laboratory setting psycho-acoustic experiment compared with the field and to delineate the appropriate indices in evaluating the Noisiness of road traffic noise by means of psycho-acoustic method. Reviewing the typical patterns of traffic noises depending upon the shapes ad conditions of the road, the road traffic noises in several representative points in the major residential areas in Kwangju city were recorded and reproduced with the noise levels modified in various steps. With these 20 sound sources, psycho-acoustic experiments in the laboratory were performed on 11 volunteer subjects. And then, psycho-acoustic experiments in the real field were performed on 10 volunteer subjects to compare the results of the laboratory experiment, the results are summerized as follows : 1. The psycho-acoustic experiments in the laboratory elicited the data well matching with those obtained in the field, resulting in even higher corelation levels. This indicates that the field assessement of responses to the noise can be replaced by the evaluatioin in the laboratory settings which render many variables easily controlled and that the responses of the residents to the noise can be easily predicted in the laboratory by applying this method. 2. Also among the complex indices, such as Noise Pollution Level or Annoyance Index high correlations were detected. On the other hand, low corelations were noted among Traffic Noise Index. 3. Highly significant correlations were found among the direct indices such as Leq, L\sub 10\, On the other hand, low correlations were detected among L\sub 50\.

Residents in an area where both trains and cars pass through are exposed to not only road traffic noise but also railway noise. Nevertheless, the degree of annoyance the caused to the residents is being under evaluated as the noises have been evaluated separately. Therefore, this study aimed at evaluating the integrated noise of road traffic and railway, and proving the accuracy of the evaluation result.
