Abstract
The exercise of validating a predictive model typically consists of modeling an existing real-world condition and predicting some resulting quantity of interest, and then comparing the predicted results to actual measured values for the same condition within a specified margin of error.
In the case of road traffic noise models this would include modeling the characteristics of the existing roadway condition (geometry of the roadway network; number, vehicle type and speed of vehicles using the roadways; pavement types; intervening terrain; etc.) and comparing the resulting
predicted noise level to actual noise measurements for the same conditions. In this paper the authors will provide a concise background of the validation purpose and process as well as a review of agency requirements and best practices for traffic noise model validation procedures.

期刊介绍:
Noise and Health is the only International Journal devoted to research on all aspects of noise and its effects on human health. An inter-disciplinary journal for all professions concerned with auditory and non-auditory effects of occupational, environmental, and leisure noise. It aims to provide a forum for presentation of novel research material on a broad range of topics associated with noise pollution, its control and its detrimental effects on hearing and health. It will cover issues from basic experimental science through clinical evaluation and management, technical aspects of noise reduction systems and solutions to environmental issues relating to social and public health policy.
