Microscopic traffic modelling in urban noise assessment

Abstract

The temporal structure of the urban soundscape can be rather complex, due to the presence of many screening and reflecting surfaces and many different sound sources, of which traffic noise is the most dominant. From the point of view of soundscape research, the background level as well as the time structure of noise peaks are important. However, these indicators cannot be estimated easily by current noise prediction models, based on static traffic flows. Therefore, a dynamic traffic noise model was used, based on a microscopic traffic simulation. This way, individual vehicles can be traced, each having an associated set of noise sources that can depend on vehicle properties such as speed and acceleration, as well as on road properties such as the surface type. The model further consists of an ISO 9613 based propagation component, which can account for multiple reflections and diffractions. Maps of statistical noise levels, but also of more complicated measures reflecting the time structure of the soundscape, can be produced. This way, the soundscape contribution of single vehicles can be traced, as well as the influence of more general vehicle properties, such as the contribution of vehicle acceleration noise to the soundscape at junctions.
