Exposure to traffic-related air pollution and risk of development of childhood asthma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The question of whether children's exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) contributes to their development of asthma is unresolved. We conducted a systematic review and performed meta-analyses to analyze the association

Influence of various angles and distances on luminance measurement results

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings
The behaviour of drivers in nocturnal conditions is primarily influenced by the early detection of obstacles within the roadway. A reliable approach to evaluate night-time traffic environments is through luminance analysis.

Prediction of rear-end conflict frequency using multiple-location traffic parameters.

open access: yesAccident Analysis and Prevention, 2021
Traffic conflicts are heavily correlated with traffic collisions and may provide insightful information on the failure mechanism and factors that contribute more towards a collision.

Source apportionment of fine PM by combining high time resolution organic and inorganic chemical composition datasets

open access: yesAtmospheric Environment: X, 2019
The use of high time resolution datasets of aerosol organic and inorganic species as input for receptor models poses a number of challenges. The estimation of uncertainties differ between different analytical methods and the number of chemical species ...

Development of an open-source road traffic noise model for exposure assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper describes the development of a model for assessing TRAffic Noise EXposure (TRANEX) in an open-source geographic information system. Instead of using proprietary software we developed our own model for two main reasons: 1) so that the treatment

Traffic Noise and Mental Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
Recent evidence suggests that traffic noise may negatively impact mental health. However, existing systematic reviews provide an incomplete overview of the effects of all traffic noise sources on mental health. We conducted a systematic literature search
