Noise event measures for road traffic [PDF]
, 2017 How should noise events in road traffic noise be measured? This paper reports the performance of a set of algorithms that detect noise events in time histories of road traffic noise in the population of acoustic conditions found near roadways. The latter

American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2012 Road traffic is the most interfering noise source in developed countries. According to a publication of the European Union (EU) at the end of the twentieth century [1], about 40% of the population in 15 EU member states is exposed to road traffic noise at mean levels exceeding 55 dB(A).

Road traffic noise and hypertension [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2006 Background:It has been suggested that noise exposure increases the risk of hypertension. Road traffic is the dominant source of community noise exposure.Objective:To study the association between exposure to residential road traffic noise and hypertension in an urban municipality.Methods:The study population comprised randomly selected subjects aged 19–

Road traffic noise and children’s inattention [PDF]
Environmental Health, 2017 An increasing number of children are exposed to road traffic noise levels that may lead to adverse effects on health and daily functioning. Childhood is a period of intense growth and brain maturation, and children may therefore be especially vulnerable to road traffic noise.

Development of an open-source road traffic noise model for exposure assessment [PDF]
, 2015 This paper describes the development of a model for assessing TRAffic Noise EXposure (TRANEX) in an open-source geographic information system. Instead of using proprietary software we developed our own model for two main reasons: 1) so that the treatment

Noise emission corrections at intersections based on microscopic traffic simulation [PDF]
, 2006 One of the goals of the European IMAGINE project, is to formulate strategies to improve traffic modelling for application in noise mapping. It is well known that the specific deceleration and acceleration dynamics of traffic at junctions can influence ...

Evolution of building façade road traffic noise levels in Flanders [PDF]
, 2012 The evolution of daytime facade noise levels by road traffic at 250 dwellings in Flanders is assessed. Three identical man-operated measurement campaigns have been conducted in the years 1996, 2001 and 2009, during fall.

Estimating the effect of semi-transparent low-height road traffic noise barriers with ultra weak variational formulation [PDF]
, 2011 The ultra weak variational formulation (UWVF) approach is used to study the effect of semi-transparent road traffic noise barriers of limited height. This numerical method is extended to simulate sound propagation through a porous medium, based on the ...
