Analysis of the impact of the forecasted and measured traffic intensity on noise range

Abstract:
The article presents the assumptions of traffic intensity for a selected road section, which have been verified on the basis of measurements and data provided from General Measurement of Traffic (GPR). On this basis, simulations of noise ranges were made in the SoundPlan program. The simulations were performed for both predicted and verified traffic. Such simulations in the form of acoustic maps were used to determine the impact of the discrepancy between the assumed traffic intensity and that verified by measurements on noise range and its impact on protected areas and building development in the nearest vicinity.
