Treatment of road traffic noise in EU countries with a focus on Directive 2002/49/EC
Science, Engineering and Technology, 2021 The trend of continuous increase for mobility requirements results in a progressive increase in the use of vehicles of all modes of transport, which contributes to a significant increase in noise levels, especially in urban areas.

Development of a highway geometry based noise abatement model
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, 2021 Exposure to noise generated from traffic has led to significant annoyance and sleep deprivation in people. Continuous exposure to traffic noise can lead to mental instability and reduce the learning rate of children. Many cases of cardiovascular diseases,

, 2021 Currently, noise pollution is a major problem especially in urban areas, and moreover traffic noise is the most significant source of noise in cities. A large number of cars and other road vehicles that have internal combustion engines are making road traffic noise a leading noise pollution source.

American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2012 Road traffic is the most interfering noise source in developed countries. According to a publication of the European Union (EU) at the end of the twentieth century [1], about 40% of the population in 15 EU member states is exposed to road traffic noise at mean levels exceeding 55 dB(A).

Traffic Noise and its Impact on Wellness of the Residents in Sambalpur City – a Critical Analysis
Archives of Acoustics, 2021 Noise is unwanted sound judged to be unpleasant, loud or disruptive to hearing. Like air pollution, noise pollution is one of the serious matters of concern in urban areas. Noise pollution occurs when noise level exceeds certain limit and has deleterious

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