A simulation of traffic noise emissions at a roundabout based on a cellular automaton model
Acta Acustica, 2021 The calculation and evaluation of traffic noise is an important task in urban road design. Roundabouts are a common form of urban road intersection. The complexity of traffic operations makes the calculation of traffic noise near a roundabout challenging.

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
