Abstract
Traffic is the most significant noise source in urban areas. The village of Kamenari in Boka Kotorska Bay is a site where, in a relatively small area, road traffic and sea (ferry) traffic take place at the same time. Due to the specificity of the location, i.e. very rare synergy of sound effects of road and sea traffic in the urban area, as well as the expressed need for assessment of noise level in a simple and quick way, a research was conducted, using empirical methods and statistical analysis methods, which led to the creation of acoustic model for the assessment of equivalent noise level (Leq). The developed model for noise assessment in the Village of Kamenari in Boka Kotorska Bay quite realistically provides data on possible noise levels at the observed site, with very little deviations in relation to empirically obtained values.
Highlights
The fact is that there is an entire number of sources of pollution that may endanger the environment
The aim of this paper is to examine the specific situation and develop a model for the assessment of noise in the urban area generated by road and sea traffic
The measurements were focused on equivalent noise level, the number of vehicles moving on the road, vehicles loading/unloading from the ferryboat, the number and type of ferryboats that plied and the sea condition
Summary
The fact is that there is an entire number of sources of pollution that may endanger the environment. A typical example of environmental pollutant, whose presence and negative impacts on the living world remain long hidden, is the community noise. Assessment of noise generated in road traffic has been carried out for a long time, with a limited number of receivers, with simplified qualitative analyses and simplified calculations. The presence of sea traffic noise in urban areas is almost inconceivable, but there are places where people are exposed to the combined effects of noise generated by road and sea traffic. One of these places is the Village of Kamenari
