Implementation of speed bumps in residential areas is nowadays extensively used in order to reduce vehicle speed. However, such traffic calming is generally perceived as an unfavourable effect on the environment which causes undesirable vibrations and increases the noise level. This article discusses measurements and analyses the noise generated by the vehicle when driving over the different types of road bumps. An attempt was made to evaluate and predict the traffic-induced noise level using a hybrid optimized ANFIS-based model. Toward this aim, noise caused by traffic was monitored near the road. It was found that the hybrid model GA-ANFIS for predictions exceeds the frequently used conventional ANFIS models.
