Abstract
The road traffic noise prediction model ASJ RTN-Model 2018 is used widely as a support tool in the environmental impact assessment of development projects in Southeast Asia as well as in Japan. In European countries, various prediction models such as Nord and CNOSSOS-EU have been published. Since 2018, the specific noise emission, which can be incorporated into CNOSSOS-EU, was proposed in several countries: CNOSSOS-NL, -FR and sonROAD. Also, the coefficients of the emission model in CNOSSOS-EU were replaced in 2021. In this study, the values of noise emission and its frequency characteristics were compared between these prediction models using immission values calculated considering the effects of the ground surface and a barrier. The results revealed that the emission values for three vehicle types in ASJ RTN-Model 2018 are almost 1 dB lower on average than those in European models, and the immission values on the reflective ground are independent of differences in the frequency characteristic between the emission models.
