Condiciones de tránsito vehicular y uso de un modelo para la predicción de ruido por tráfico rodado en un entorno local de la ciudad de Bogotá-Colombia

With the aim of understanding this source of noise pollution, this article gathers information on traffic conditions in the city of Bogotá-Colombia, taking as reference official data from the local government. Additionally, a noise study based on acoustic indicators measured using the measurement methodology of the Colombian environmental noise standard is presented. [...]the measured data is contrasted with simulations obtained using the road traffic noise model NMPB-Routes 96. [...]the causes that generate the differences between measurements and the calculation model used are discussed, which can be attributed to noise sources other than road traffic.
