Analysis of the attenuation of Leq and L N values with distance over grassland from a line of moving traffic indicates that the noise sources effectively radiate energy in the horizontal plane with a distance term different from the commonly assumed inverse square law. This requires an adjustment to

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
A simplified method of evaluating air absorption, in terms of A-weighted sound pressure level and A-weighted sound exposure level, is worked out. The results obtained can be used for prediction of equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level of traffic noise. Up to a few hundred meters from
This paper presents a method for calculating the A-weighted sound exposure level of noise generated during passage of a single vehicle. The excess attenuation of an urban area is taken into account. The Ground Area Index is used for urban area description. The results can be used for the approximati
Field experiments to investigate the attenuation of noise from single vehicles over short grass indicate that Jbr a microphone height of 1-2 m and a source/receiver distance < 30 m, the rate of attenuation is 4.8 dB(A) per doubling of distance. Some evidence is presented to suggest that for source~r
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 impac
