| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims at establishing a method to estimate the number of population exposed by high level road traffic noise. To achieve it, Fujimoto, a representative of this study studied the prediction of the insertion loss of detached houses against road traffic noise and presented a new method to predict the noise level in each house at areas facing roads by combining ASJ RTN Model-2013. Hiraguri, co-researcher of this study, studied the estimation of the number of people dwelling in each house along roads and contrived a unique and original method using “Base Map Information”, “Digital National Land Information”, “Population Census”, “Housing and Land Survey”, and Google Maps Javascript APJ.
The integration of these research achievements enables us to estimate the number of population exposed by high level road traffic noise. The results of this study are useful for a study of health risk caused by noise.
