【 摘 要 】

This article presents a correlation graph of noise levels vs traffic intensity and vs height of buildings, as well as vs distances from motorways based on results of carried out research; simulation models of exposure to noise levels in areas with high traffic intensity (more than 3,000 vehicles/hour) have been generated using the "ACOUSTIC" software package. Based on the obtained empirical correlation graphs recommendations have been developed aimed at reducing noise levels created by transport. A nomogram was generated to determine the noise levels generated by high traffic intensity motorways in both front-facing and ribbon types of residential blocks arrangement. The recommendations provide means for designing noise baffles to be placed near the medium to high traffic intensity motorways taking into account noise levels with respect to building heights in urban areas, as well as respecting the residential blocks arrangement and the overall heights of buildings.
