Abstract
The work is devoted to the study of the features of Spatio-temporal changes in the noise level from vehicles and is based on field measurements carried out in the autumn-spring, summer and winter seasons. The measurements were carried out on the territory of the administrative district of Moscow at 861 points during the evening rush hour. For the analysis of space-time series, a cartographic research method was used using the QuantumGIS and ArcGis programs. The series of maps created in this work demonstrates the dependence of the noise level in the urban area on the traffic load, the type of urban planning, and seasonality (the presence of snow cover and the vegetation state of plant complexes). Zoning of the territory by the noise influence makes it possible to identify zones with a critical and high noise level (above the PEL standard), as well as areas with an insignificant and medium noise level (below the PEL).
Highlights
The level of urbanization in the world is increasing, leading to an increase in the noise level exposure for the population
To study the spread of the noise level in the residential area, an administrative district of Moscow was selected, which is surrounded by major highways and having various types of urban planning: quarters with a preserved five-storey housing stock, renovation areas, highrise buildings, and green areas
Based on the limiting values of the PEL standards for the territories adjacent to the residential area [3], four gradations of values were identified [Table], from which it can be seen that there is an annual dynamics of noise levels by seasons, with the highest values in the springautumn period, and with the lowest values in summer
Summary
The level of urbanization in the world is increasing, leading to an increase in the noise level exposure for the population. Based on the limiting values of the PEL standards for the territories adjacent to the residential area [3], four gradations of values were identified [Table], from which it can be seen that there is an annual dynamics of noise levels by seasons, with the highest values in the springautumn period, and with the lowest values in summer. In contrast to the five-storey buildings, the territory with modern urban planning (completed after 2000) does not have such an impact In these areas, the level of the average annual noise load is recorded as "high". As can be seen from the given fragments of the study area, the Spatio-temporal dynamics of the noise level has significant changes between seasons, with the highest values in the autumn-spring and the smallest in the summer season
