An Assessment of Traffic Noise Level in Agartala Municipal Corporation Using Geo-spatial Technology in Tripura, India
Vehicular noise greatly affects the population who are exposed to it, particularly the road users or those who are located alongside transport lines. Though noise pollution does not have an immediate health impact, long-term exposure to it might be detrimental for human physical as well as mental health. In Agartala Municipal Corporation, there has been a significant rise in the number of vehicles over a period of last ten years; therefore, the noise created by them also has become an issue of concern. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the level of traffic noise along twelve major roads in Agartala Municipal Corporation. This study would not only throw an insight into the vulnerable areas affected by noise pollution in the city but also address the population most likely to be affected by it. An effort has been made to show the relationship of traffic noise level with traffic volume and road character like the carriageway width, and it could be established that the nature of road and traffic composition has a positive relation with noise level in the city. In order to optimize the level and efficiency of noise effect in the city, geospatial techniques were used to prepare a noise map through IDW interpolation method.
