Harnessing Human Mobility Data for Applied Economic Research: Current Knowledge, Challenges, and Emerging Opportunities

open access: yesJournal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reviews how large‐scale mobility data can enhance economic analyses, highlighting its contributions to understanding travel behavior, labor markets, social interactions, and health outcomes. We discuss its advantages over traditional mobility data sources, which include real‐time location information and fine spatial resolution ...

The Cost of Convenience: A Hedonic Approach to Travel Time Valuation and Cost‐Benefit Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel revealed‐preference approach to estimating the value of travel time (VTT) and calculating consumer surplus for the economic evaluation of transport infrastructure. Departing from traditional stated‐preference models, we derive time valuations by linking residential rental transactions in Greater Sydney to employment

Road traffic noise: self-reported noise annoyance versus GIS modelled road traffic noise exposure

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Monitoring, 2011
self-reported road traffic noise annoyance is commonly used in epidemiological studies for assessment of potential health effects. Alternatively, some studies have used geographic information system (GIS) modelled exposure to road traffic noise as an objective parameter. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between noise exposure due to

Effects of natural sounds on the perception of road traffic noise

open access: yesJournal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011
Recent studies show that introducing sound from water features in urban open spaces may reduce the loudness of road traffic noise, but it is not clear in which situations this measure also improves overall soundscape quality.

Road traffic noise annoyance in Amsterdam

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1985
3445 persons living in Amsterdam (1507 male and 1938 female), aged 41-43 years, participated in an investigation in which the relationship was studied between the (measured) road traffic noise in front of the houses in which the participants lived, and the (reported) resulting annoyance and sleep disturbance.

The reflection of road traffic noise

Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1983
Abstract In the U.K. prediction method for L 10 noise levels from road traffic single figure corrections are used to allow for the effects of reflecting facades. In this paper, simple expressions are proposed as improved corrections. These are derived for facades lying parallel to the road by using geometrical reflection theory and the equations ...
