Road traffic noise in areas surrounding intersections
Over the period of the last few years special attention has been paid to the issue of protecting built-up areas against excessive traffic noise. Prediction and assessment of the level of noise in areas surrounding intersections was of primary interest to the researchers. Studies in this field have...
