Abstract

This paper aims to summarize the findings of research concerning the application of neural networks in traffic noise prediction. Noise is an environmental agent, regarded as a stressful stimulus. Noise exposure causes changes at different levels in living beings, such as the cardiovascular, endocrine and nervous system. Study of traffic noise prediction models began in 1950s to predict a single vehicle sound pressure level at the road side. After that, several traffic noise prediction models such as FHWA, CORTN, STOP and GO, MITHRA, ASJ etc. were developed depending upon various parameters and conditions. Complexity of error identification by means of classical approaches has led to researchers and designers to explore the possibility of neural solution to the problem of traffic noise prediction. Present study is focused on review of various neural network models developed for road traffic noise prediction.
