Transportation, 1972
The most important part of it is undoubtedly the recommendations made to member governments. These have been well thought out and ought to be adopted almost without exception. They are prefaced with a description of the aims which public policy ought to have, and in the context of traffic noise control, these aims refer to "seeking a realistic balance ...

Health effects of traffic noise
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1980In 57 test persons having worked 1 day under traffic noise (Leq = 85 dB(A) and 1 day without noise (Leq < 50 dB(A), blood pressure and pulse frequency were measured at 1 h intervals and total urine was collected during working hours. Additionally, blood was sampled at the end of each working day.

Traffic noise and traffic light control
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 1998Abstract An optimal control problem of traffic light duration is considered. The traffic noise level is introduced as a state variable in a dynamical optimization problem. A closed loop control system is designed which influences the green duration of the lights according to the equivalent noise level.

Reviews of Physics in Technology, 1972
Following the publication of the Wilson report in 1963 much attention has been drawn to solving problems connected with road traffic noise. In this article the relevant noise level standards are described and the phenomenon of noise from individual vehicles and taffic as a whole is discussed.

Road traffic noise, noise sensitivity and psychological disorder
Psychological Medicine, 1993SynopsisThe relationship between traffic noise exposure and psychological morbidity was assessed using the population-based Caerphilly Collaborative Survey of 2398 men from Caerphilly, South Wales. The findings showed that traffic noise exposure levels were strongly associated with annoyance to noise.

Hypertension and Road Traffic Noise Exposure
Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 2007The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between road traffic noise exposure at home and the prevalence of hypertension.We conducted cross-sectional analyses in a large random sample (N=40,856) of inhabitants of Groningen City, and in a subsample (the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease [PREVEND]) study cohort; N=8592 ...

Traffic Noise and Housing Values
2002Noise is one of the most serious forms of pollution and one of the main causes of the deterioration of the quality of life in urban areas. This paper analyzes the effects of traffic noise on house prices in the historic center of Ferrara. The analysis was done by analyzing the distribution of house prices and noise pollution, using multiple regression.

Air Absorption Of Traffic Noise
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1993Air absorption is considered as a phenomenon modifying geometrical spreading. Expressions for the maximal A-weighted sound pressure level and the A-weighted sound exposure level are derived for train noise. They are given in terms of the tabulated change in sound pressure level due to air absorption for particular values of characteristic frequency ...

In the field of transportation research it is of interest to calculate the noise-producing properties of a stream of equidistant acoustic sources moving at constant speed. Weiss (1970) developed a probabilistic model of traffic noise intensity from vehicles on a long straight highway.
