Electric vehicles diffusion: changing pavement acoustic design?

open access: yesNoise Mapping, 2021
Electric vehicles (EVs) are progressively entering into the current noisy urban ecosystem. Even though EVs are apparently quieter than traditional Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs), they have an impact on noise maps and road pavement designers ...

Can sensor-based noise mapping be a proxy of PM and permeability mapping?

open access: yesNoise Mapping, 2021
In recent decades, road infrastructures have been the subject of numerous studies, aimed at ensuring reduced air and acoustic pollution. On the other hand, several studies showed that another important problem is dust load.

On the effects of rough ground and atmospheric absorption on aircraft noise

open access: yesNoise Mapping, 2022
The noise received from an aircraft is modified by atmospheric attenuation and reflections from the ground. The interference of direct and reflected waves is simplest for a flat ground, whereas multiple reflections can occur for rough ground or ...

Noise pollution in rail transport. Case study: Baghdad subway

open access: yesNoise Mapping, 2022
Noise pollution is one of the environmental factors that severely threaten humans’ mental, emotional, and physical health. One of the most significant sources of this pollution is the noise generated by traffic and urban transportation, mainly the urban ...

Urban background noise mapping: the multiple-reflection correction term [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mapping of road traffic noise in urban areas according to standardized engineering calculation methods systematically results in an underestimation of noise levels at areas shielded from direct exposure to noise, such as inner yards.

Shot noise of inelastic tunneling through quantum dot systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We present a theoretical analysis of the effect of inelastic electron scattering on current and its fluctuations in a mesoscopic quantum dot (QD) connected to two leads, based on a recently developed nonperturbative technique involving the approximate ...

A soundscape approach to exploring design strategies for acoustic comfort in modern public libraries: a case study of the Library of Birmingham

open access: yesNoise Mapping, 2016
Taking the soundscape approach to a study of the Library of Birmingham, this paper explored acoustic comfort in modern public libraries and measured the quality of the perceived sound environment, focusing on the appropriateness of the spatial ...
