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

Statistical Road-Traffic Noise Mapping Based on Elementary Urban Forms in Two Cities of South Korea
Sustainability, 2021 Statistical models that can generate a road-traffic noise map for a city or area where only elementary urban design factors are determined, and where no concrete urban morphology, including buildings and roads, is given, can provide basic but essential ...

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 ...

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

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

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.

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

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 ...
