Title: | Noise Estimation Using Road and Urban Features | Authors: | Rey Gozalo, Guillermo Suárez, Enrique Montenegro, Alexandra L. Arenas, Jorge P. Barrigón Morillas, Juan Miguel Montes González, David |
Keywords: | urban noise; environmental noise; noise measurements; urban noise planning | Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | MDPI | Project: | Chilean National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research (CONICYT), now called National Agency for Research and Development (ANID), through the project FONDECYT No. 1180547 | metadata.degois.publication.title: | Sustainability (Switzerland) | metadata.degois.publication.volume: | 12 | metadata.degois.publication.issue: | 21 | Abstract: | Noise pollution must be considered to achieve sustainable cities because current levels of exposure to environmental noise are a considerable risk to the health and quality of life of citizens. Urban features and sound levels were registered in 150 streets in the Chilean cities of Talca and Valdivia to analyze the relationship between both types of variables. Urban variables related to street location, urban land use, street geometry, road tra c control, and public and private transportation showed very significant correlations with the noise levels, and multiple regression models were developed from these variables for each city. Models using only urban variables in Valdivia and Talca explained 71% and 73%, respectively, of the variability of noise. The prediction error was similar in the di erent types of urban roads and did not exhibit significant di erences between models developed in di erent cities. The urban models developed in one city could, therefore, be used in other similar cities. Considering the usefulness of these variables in urban planning, these models can be a useful tool for urban planners and decision-makers to implement action plans regarding noise pollution. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/106742 | ISSN: | 2071-1050 | DOI: | 10.3390/su12219217 | Rights: | openAccess |
