Urban transportation noise was modeled by statistical approach in order to present easy models for assessing noise emission and preliminary designs. In addition, a multilayer perceptron neural network was used to model noise to improve the accuracy of predicted levels and present more reliable results. The development of the model was based on diverse input data. As a result, the model is valid to be used widely inside and outside of Giza city. Finally, this research is a step forward toward studying noise emissions in Egypt as it is not sufficiently investigated UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
