Abstract
The rapid increase in the motorization and urbanization to meet the needs of the people has resulted in increasing the number of vehicles in Indian roads during the past few years. With the great ease to public it has also resulted in degrading the environment to the greatest possible extents [5]. Besides gaining control over the air water and land now a new kind of pollution came into existence called noise pollution. Noise is considered variable in its nature and any time for the traffic in the road may depend speed of vehicles, volume of traffic and road conditions [4]. Thus, it becomes necessary to identify its levels by certain mechanism. Thus, in view of the problem been associated with generation of noise our work aims at carrying out the modification in the RTM and carry out comparative analysis of this model with Calixto model for our data set and give inferences on the basis of the study been conducted.
