The conditions of acoustic wave formation under urban development within traffic roundabouts are considered on the example of Izhevsk. The article refers to 5 single-level road interchanges, and provides the results of multiple acoustic measurements of the equivalent sound pressure level. The observations covered a different time range, typical for the daytime period. The average values vary from 66 to 68 dBA, and the maximum values range from 67 to 69 dBA. Based on the simulation results, acoustic discomfort zones were determined for each interchange. The variation was from 50 to 75 meters at averaged values of flows intensity (up to 1500 u / h) and from 60 to 110 meters at high intensity (up to 2000 u / h). The conclusion is made about the favorability of roundabouts from the position of noise comfort in comparison with traditional intersections equipped with traffic lights. The effectiveness of such measures is 2-3 dB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
