Influence of various angles and distances on luminance measurement results
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.
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.

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