A proposal of a methodology to build a road noise map and its application to Montevideo City (Uruguay)

摘要

The detailed methodology for recording field information to build road noise maps is not prescribed by any standard. This fact introduces additional limitations in order to compare results from different investigation teams and sometimes even to make the presented information credible. This paper presents a methodology for collecting field information to build a road noise map, which was first developed to build the noise map of Montevideo City (Uruguay). The major part of this work was included in the Ph.D thesis in Environmental Engineering of the author, which was oriented by Dr. Gaja Diaz.
