✦ Synopsis

The Department of the Environment publication Calculation of Road Traffic Noise was published in 1975 as the prescribed method of calculating road tra~c noise in order to determine entitlement to noise insulation, The method described in that publication is now frequently used to determine the impact of new roads at the Public Inquiry stage.

Since publication, vehicle regulations have changed, as has tyre design. The accuracy of the calculation method is examined, taking into account these factors, and also possible errors owing to meteorological and road-surface effects.

Outdoor sound propagation from road tra$c is modelled by solving a boundary integral equation formulation of the wave equation using boundary element techniques in two dimensions. In the "rst model, the source representing a tra$c stream can be considered as a coherent line source of sound. The resu
