Statistical classification of road pavements using near field vehicle rolling noise measurements [PDF]
, 2010 Low noise surfaces have been increasingly considered as a viable and cost-effective alternative to acoustical barriers. However, road planners and administrators frequently lack information on the correlation between the type of road surface and the ...

Journal of research in health sciences, 2013 The recognition of road traffic noise as one of the main sources of environmental pollution has led to develop models that enable to predict noise level from fundamental variables. Traffic noise prediction models are required as aids for designing roads and highways.

Effects of a traffic noise background on judgements of aircraft noise [PDF]
A study was conducted in which subjects judged aircraft noises in the presence of road traffic background noise. Two different techniques for presenting the background noises were evaluated. For one technique, the background noise was continuous over the

The Effects of Traffic on Human Health of Local Residents [PDF]
, 2003 In this study, a model is proposed to evaluate the local human health damage caused by (changes in) road traffic on a particular road. These damages are due to global health effects occurring due to the traffic life cycle, as assessed in standard life ...

An Experimental Investigation into the Effects of Traffic Noise on Distributions of Birds: Avoiding the Phantom Road [PDF]
, 2013 Many authors have suggested that the negative effects of roads on animals are largely owing to traffic noise. Although suggestive, most past studies of the effects of road noise on wildlife were conducted in the presence of the other confounding effects ...
