Abstract:
A comprehensive study on traffic noise level at twenty four pre-selected road transaction of Calcutta Metropolis was carried out during 1993-94. Noise levels were measured at each of twenty four sites, based on predetermined sampling interval and altogether 2880 observations were generated by recording data continuously for 24 hours. The Lcq 24, exceedence levels, LD, LN, LDN, LNP and TNI were determined. Traffic flow density as measured along with noise data recording were then compared for establishing relationship with noise level. Finally the clustering of the sites were made based on variable viz. Lcq 24 and traffic follow density.
