Vehicular traffic noise implication on land use planning vadapalani chennai india

Abstract

The present research investigation emphasizes the most newlineunderestimated environmental damage of modern times, notably traffic newlinenoise. Noise, particularly from the transportation sector, is more common, newlineand more specifically from road traffic, it manifests as an invasive that can newlineresult in or constitute an enormous risk to public health. Traffic noise is more newlinesevere and omnipresent than ever before, and it will probably increase in newlinemagnitude and level of exertion as an outcome of accelerating urbanization, newlinerising populations, industrialization, modernization, vehicular increase are the newlinegrowing prevalence of portable noise sources. The adverse medical newlineimplications of traffic noise are ubiquitous, pervasive, resilient, and newlinesimultaneously psychologically and physiologically substantial. Road traffic newlinenoise generated by vehicle movements has proven to be the predominant newlinesource of noise pollution in the urban environment. newlineThe study aims to evaluate in urban area how the land use planning newlineinfluences the noise management. By evaluating the parameters and indicators newlinewhich cause noise pollution and also to assess and analyze the noise newlinedescriptors and prepare noise maps in the study area along the two major newlinearterials of the Vadapalani - Arcot Road intersection, in Chennai district, newlineTamil Nadu State, India. The study assessed the effects of noise exposure on newlineland use type and buildings along the periphery of the two arterial roads with newlinea digital sound level meter. newline
