Abstract

The noise is meant by all unwanted sounds. As the years were passing by the noise has become more and more intense. European Union adopted Directive 2002/49/EC recognizing noise pollution problem. During the processes of planning and designing, and after the construction of new roads, it is of major importance to determine the level of traffic noise which is going to occur or which has already occurred. For that purposes mathematical models for prediction of noise emission and dispersion have been used. The aim of this paper is to represent the results of the research on the effects of pavement surface condition on road traffic noise. Research results were used to develop noise prediction models.
