Development and Testing of an Active Noise Control System for Urban Road Traffic Noise
Applied Sciences, 2023 As urbanization accelerates, the increasing number of vehicles and travel demands contribute to escalating road traffic noise pollution. Although passive noise control techniques such as noise barriers and green belts effectively mitigate noise, they ...

Classification of Urban Road Traffic Noise based on Sound Energy and Eventfulness Indicators
Applied Sciences, 2020 Noise energetic indicators, like Lden, show good correlations with long term annoyance, but should be supplemented by other parameters describing the sound fluctuations, which are very common in urban areas and negatively impact noise annoyance. Thus, in

U-Net with Asymmetric Convolution Blocks for Road Traffic Noise Attenuation in Seismic Data
Applied Sciences, 2023 Road traffic noise is a special kind of high amplitude noise in seismic or acoustic data acquisition around a road network. It is a mixture of several surface waves with different dispersion and harmonic waves.

Statistical modelling for urban roads traffic noise levels
Scientific African, 2022 Traffic noise is one of the most significant types of vehicular emissions that result in physical and psychological health effects on humans and is caused by an increase in vehicular ownership and urbanisation. The central business district (CBD) of Ondo

A Microscopic Prediction Model for Traffic Noise in Adjacent Regions to Arterial Roads
Archives of Acoustics, 2023 Traffic noise in big cities impacts the people who live and work in high-rise buildings alongside arterial roads. To determine this impact magnitude, this paper proposes and validates a microscopic level method that locally predicts the total noise level

COMPARISON BETWEEN MEASURED TRAFFIC NOISE IN KLANG VALLEY, MALAYSIA AND EXISTING PREDICTION MODELS [PDF]
Engineering Heritage Journal, 2018 Many road traffic noise models are available around the world. However, these models cannot be simply generalized because local conditions affecting such noise (e.g., vehicle type and weather) vary from one locality to another. Two traffic noise models

Evaluation of Strategic Noise Maps Arising from Urban Traffic
Doğal Afetler ve Çevre Dergisi, 2021 Environmental noise from traffic, industry and entertainment in cities has been one of the important environmental problems. In developed countries, noise from highways, airways and railways are the second major health problem. Traffic noise has negative
