Abstract

The forecast of the level of noise produced on and by transport infrastructures is part of an essential aspect for a compatible strategy of development of the urban texture. It is thus necessary to dispose of adequate and specific mathematical tools (models) which can reproduce and/or simulate different acoustic scenarios, to use for assessment and planning of the existing or future infrastructures. The experimental data measured in the city of Villa S. Giovanni, which for its particular location is always subject to heavy vehicular traffic to and from Sicily, was analysed allowing us to highlight, also in numerical form, the dependence of the equivalent level of noise Leq from the characteristics of the vehicular traffic flows (quan
