Abstract

Due to the fast process of urbanization and the increase in the development of transport infrastructure, there is an increase in noise levels caused by road and railway traffic in urban areas, which represents one of the most important today's problems. The goal of this paper is to find out the current noise levels of road and railway traffic. Measuring road traffic noise levels in the area of the city of Zenica and the railway traffic noise in the vicinity of the Railway Station in Kakanj has been done. In the end, the analysis of the obtained results and comparisons with the values regulated by the law as allowed values were performed. Noise level maps were also plotted as one of the contributions to solving the problem of environmental noise.
