URBAN TRAFFIC NOISE MEASUREMENT OPTIMIZATION

In this research work, a new measurement methodology is presented; the measurement techniques for urban traffic noise are based on the calculus of the minimum exposure time for the equivalent level, which is representative of a longer period of time. This method was developed from actual continuous one-minute measurements. It is very interesting to observe how the equivalent noise level stabilizes itself after a certain period of time, which is very useful to know the length of time required for urban traffic noise measurement.
