Traffic noise in urban and regional roads and impact on the administrative facility P+30 in Prishtina

Abstract

Many current problems are related to noise, which in many cases may be undesirable factorfor the daily activities and work conditions. This is especially evident in urban areas, where isa rapid growth of traffic including the number of vehicles, especially in peak time.Orientations and knowledge bases for the noise will take an important place in this paper,with the right understanding of this phenomenon.Till now in our country that is not taken into account in road and urban analyses. In this paperwe will orient the potential impact of noise in the administrative building in Pristina with P+30 floors, which is very close to the roundabout as a major source of noise. Such an outputdata, based on present measurements of the number of vehicles, made in a different specifiedperiod of time according to standards, and those elements will be interlinked with othergeometric and material parameters. All the analyses will show a result of the intensity of thenoise in dB. To analyze these parameters, intensity of the noise will be taken as the workloadof analyzed building. Also the result of unwanted intensity will be the factor for the designeddimensions and the calculation of the sound barriers in the roundabout, taking into accountthe incorporation in the environment and the urban planning of that part.The result will be presented as a 3D animation for this urban part and the impact of noise asan important factor, since we are dealing with a large concentration of administration in thisbuilding.
