As a result of the continuous research activities, a new version of model, "ASJ RTN-Model 2023", was published in this April. It is an upgrade version of the previous model, "ASJ RTN-Model 2018", proposed in 2019. In developing the latest version, existing knowledge was widely taken into account, in particular, the sound power levels of road vehicles under acceleration running conditions and calculation methods for sound propagation were improved in wide range. This new model is introduced in three papers with the same main title in this congress. In this paper, the framework of the model, the general procedure of prediction calculation, and the outlines of sound emissions and the calculation equations of sound propagation are presented.", }
