Traffic Noise and the Hyperbolic Plane

, 2009
We consider the problem of sound propagation in a wind. We note that the rays, as in the absence of a wind, are given by Fermat's principle and show how to map them to the trajectories of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field on a curved space ...

Equivalent Noise Level Response to Number of Vehicles: A Comparison between a High Traffic Flow and Low Traffic Flow Highway in Malaysia

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014
Although much research on road traffic noise has found that noise level increase are influenced by driver behaviour and source- receiver distance, little attention has been paid to the relationship between noise level and total number of vehicles on the ...
