The EU Directive (2002/49/EC) relating to the assessment and management of environment noise was published in 2002 and it deals mainly with the definition of noise indicators, strategic noise mapping, noise management action plans and prediction methodologies. Until recently the most used method in Europe as well as in Greece for noise prediction was the British method, CRTN.

Simulation of urban traffic noise along with a statistical model of traffic noise for the road network in the city center is presented in this paper. The road network of the central park of Patras –Greece was used as the study area. The model’s parameters include traffic volume, with every type of vehicle, and the average speed of vehicles.
