| Abstract | This manual is intended for use as a tool in predicting the noise which will be generated by freely-flowing vehicle traffic along a highway of known characteristics. The manual presents two separate approaches to the prediction problem. The first approach utilizes a simple nomograph to provide first-approximation solutions to the traffic noise prediction problem. The second approach utilizes a computerized traffic noise simulation model, for more accurate and more flexible noise level predictions. This volume contains an explanation of the bases for both approaches, to indicate the assumptions and limitations inherent in the prediction procedures, and a User's Manual and the computer listing for the simulation model. A short version of this report without Appendices A and B, is published as Report DOT-TSC-FHWA-72-2 for convenient use by most users. (Author) |
