Abstract
Traffic noise is an increasing concern in society and is the largest contributor to
community noise levels. Besides being a general annoyance and distraction, high
noise levels are detrimental to health and wellbeing. Excessively noisy vehicles are a
nuisance to communities both with and without high traffic noise levels. Such vehicles
consist of cars or motorbikes with illegal exhaust or mechanical configurations and
heavy vehicles using engine braking.
A noisy vehicle detection system could be used for the roadside detection of
excessively noisy vehicles or those creating unacceptable noise. The presence of a
detection system on the roadside would not only aid in gathering information
concerning noisy vehicles but would also act as a noisy behaviour deterrent.
The objectives for this project were to investigate the characteristics of vehicle noise
on a roadway and current noise measurement techniques and standards. This research
then led to the discussion and development of several signal processing techniques for
the use in determining the event of a noisy vehicle as well as the vehicle location and
noise type.
