A Vehicles Noise Traffic Model Development: Case Study In Pekanbarucity, Indonesia

Abstract

Noise traffic is becoming a critical issues in many urban areas. The increasing of vehicle number each year is to be significant to the noise traffic intensity. Therefore, this requires an approach to predict noise traffic level which related to number of vehicle, speed and measurement distance. In this study aimed to develop traffic noise predictive model which based on Johnson model. The measurement of noise traffic was conducted in 8 location of main roads for time of 07.00-08.00, 12.00-13.00 and 16.00-17.00. The result showed that the comparison developed model to the actual traffic noise has similar pattern for 8 of measurement point on the main roads. The change of constant function (k) in the developed model equation refers to topography area of noise meas-urement. The range of constant function (k) is 1 – 1.5.
