The military actions on the territory of Ukraine have significantly affected all aspects of life of Ukrainians including transport infrastructure. Motor roads of Ukraine have been significantly affected. The pavement and roadsides of many roads, as well as their subgrades, are significantly deformed due to the uncontrolled movement of heavy armored vehicles, both wheeled and tracked, the construction of military structures, mine laying, explosions and other reasons related to the war.
Roads are important logistical routes on which the country's economy heavily depends. For Ukraine, roads hold particular significance, as they are the main channels for supplying the army. The country's roads have been severely damaged. In many areas, the pavement, roadside and roadbeds have been significantly affected by the uncontrolled movement of heavy military vehicles, the construction of defensive structures, mine laying, explosions and also other reasons related to the armed conflict.
Even on those sections of the roads, where military actions did not take place directly, the road surface is significantly deformed due to the movement of heavy armored tracked vehicles. At this stage, it is difficult to estimate whether such a load has affected the durability of motor roads. However, it is already undeniable that the noise background around the motor roads has undergone significant changes. According to the research results presented in the article, the increase in noise levels on deformed road sections ranges from 10 to 22 dB, depending on the type of vehicle and speed. Therefore, the total noise background may exceed recommended values and affect people's health. The article examines the reasons for the increase in noise levels.
