Question: Consider the following equation ( i . e . , L 1 0 ) , when an assessment point is moved from the position r

Consider the following equation (i.e.,L10), when an assessment point is moved from the position r1 to the position r2(see the figure below), what is the change of the total noise level due to the traffic noise of this road segment? For simplicity, we assume that both assessment point and effective noise source (traffic flow) are on the ground level. The effective noise source of traffic flow is represented by the dotted line in the figure. The lengths of the road segment and barrier are 720m and 240m, respectively. The positions r1 and r2(located on the middle line) are 60m and 80m away from the barrier, respectively.
Given:
L10(dB(A))=85.0-10log10(d13.5)+10log10(180)+Cb
d= direct distance between the source and the receiver (m);
= angle of view (degree);
Cb= barrier attenuation when the receiver is inside the shadow zone; and 0dB(A) when the receiver is outside the shadow zone).
