Development of a traffic noise prediction model for an urban environment

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2014
The objective of this study is to develop a traffic noise model under diverse traffic conditions in metropolitan cities. The model has been developed to calculate equivalent traffic noise based on four input variables i.e. equivalent traffic flow (Q e ),

Airport noise predicts song timing of European birds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Anthropogenic noise is of increasing concern to biologists and medical scientists. Its detrimental effects on human health have been well studied, with the high noise levels from air traffic being of particular concern.

Theoretical Comparison of the Effects of Different Traffic Conditions on Urban Road Traffic Noise

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, 2018
Road traffic noise is one of the most relevant sources in the environmental noise pollution of the urban areas where dynamics of the traffic flow are much more complicated than uninterrupted traffic flows.

Residential traffic noise exposure and headaches: Results from the population-based heinz nixdorf recall study

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2021
Context and aim: The link between headaches and exposure to loud noise in occupational settings has been established. However, the effect of less intense but chronic residential traffic noise exposure on headache occurrence is less clear.

A high resolution spatiotemporal model for in-vehicle black carbon exposure : quantifying the in-vehicle exposure reduction due to the Euro 5 particulate matter standard legislation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Several studies have shown that a significant amount of daily air pollution exposure is inhaled during trips. In this study, car drivers assessed their own black carbon exposure under real-life conditions (223 h of data from 2013).

Three-dimensional visualisation of traffic noise based on the Henk de-Klujijver model

open access: yesNoise Mapping, 2023
Visualisation of road traffic noise is vital for traffic noise planning policies. Several factors affect the noise from road traffic with physical and environmental conditions. Collecting noise levels around the world is not a possible task.

Noise levels at traffic intersections and awareness of noise pollution among traffic policemen and automobile drivers

open access: yesInternational Journal of Occupational Safety and Health, 2023
Introduction: Noise pollution is an important health hazard in modern times and traffic policemen and automobile drivers are exposed to unregulated vehicular noise. This study aims to estimate the exposure levels from traffic noise for traffic policemen
