Abstract

The noise from means of transport is one of the main factors of environmental noise pollution and is one of the factors having an effect on human health. The article presents the problem of noise emitted by urban means of transport. The work focuses on analysis of the acoustic climate in the bus stop zone. In order to estimate the noise level, research was conducted in selected points in one of the Polish cities - Radom. The obtained results allowed assessment of the impact of transport on the noise level in the area of selected bus stops.

Highlights

  • Noise is a complex issue, emitted by various sources, which is a serious problem for the human environment [1]

  • The main purpose of the measurements was to determine the current state of the acoustic climate in areas subjected to acoustic protection, which are in the zone of selected bus stops

  • The research has been in a pilot-phase to indicate potential bus stop zones that should be analyzed in terms of improving the acoustic climate

Summary

Introduction

Noise is a complex issue, emitted by various sources, which is a serious problem for the human environment [1]. It is defined as unwanted sound [2]. The authors of [11] presented correlation between the blood pressure in children and the noise from public transport. MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF THE NOISE LEVEL IN SELECTED ZONES OF BUS STOPS. The article presents the measurements results of noise emitted by means of transport in the area of selected public transport stops, city of Radom (Poland). Due to exceeding the maximum values of the noise level in one zone (access road to the center - city beltway), detailed measurements of the traffic intensity were carried out
