Abstract
One of the complications of transportation in cities is noise pollution caused by vehicles. Today, noise in urban environments is an important issue in the field of public health. Due to the negative effects of noise pollution on human health and well-being, it is necessary to identify and understand these effects on the health of exposed people. In this study, the type of traffic axis composition of the highway was identified and the type of traffic information required was identified by identifying the locations for the sound station along the highway axis and preparing sound data and identifying the factors affecting sound propagation. At each sampling station, the required variables in the intervals of 7: 30-9: 30, 12: 30-14: 30, 18: 30-20: 30, 23: 30-1: 30 And 3: 30-5: 30 and different seasons of the year were measured and recorded for modeling. The results show that the comparison of the average parameters of noise pollution in different stations of Shahid Kalantari Highway at a significant level of 5% showed that the highest amount of noise and sound indicators measured are related to the first station of Abadgaran with the amount of deci, respectively. Bell is 79.61 dB, the entrance road to Kuhsangi is about 80 dB and the lowest station of Hafez Square is about 58 dB. The parameters Lmax, Leq, L10, L50 and L90 are visually uniform distribution of results in the fit line range. According to the results of this study, it is announced that in all seasons of the year, the average equivalent sound level in all stations studied is higher than the recommended daily ambient sound level in the Iranian open air sound standard. While the standard sound level in residential areas is 55 decibels during the day and 45 decibels at night.
