The relationship between the speed of vehicles and their emitted noise levels were investigated in this paper. Vehicles classified into three distinct classes: Automobiles (A), Medium Trucks (MT) and Heavy Trucks (HT).
Measurement sites were in rural or quiet suburban locations in Irbid District so that passing vehicles would be measured independently as single events. The measurements were sorted by speed classes as well as by vehicle type. Each vehicle class was statistically analyzed. Linear regression analysis led to the development of a set of noise prediction models. These models may be used to establish noise level standards and will assist in land use planning.
A comparison of the developed noise models of Irbid District with those suggested by FHWA and Ontario Ministry of Transpiration was made. |
