Selected Indicators of Al-Najaf Road Network: Public Transportation Noise and Pollution [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 It is urgently necessary to improve the state of transportation and related infrastructure, especially given that the most important indicators of urban development gauge a city's progress. One of the most influential of these indicators is what is known

The National Transportation Noise Exposure Map
medRxiv, 2023 We describe the development and public availability of the National Transportation Noise Exposure Map with the goal of estimating population exposures to various noise levels at the census tract level in the United States.

Toward a dynamic national transportation noise map: Modeling temporal variability of traffic volume.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023 The National Transportation Noise Map (NTNM) gives time-averaged traffic noise across the continental United States (CONUS) using annual average daily traffic. However, traffic noise varies significantly with time. This paper outlines the development and

Acta Acustica, 2021 Sleep disturbances caused by noise exposure are the most relevant outcome measured in disability adjusted life years (DALYs). In analogy to the combined effects of noise from multiple sources on annoyance, these are also of interest for sleep disorders ...

Fluctuating noise drives Brownian transport [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2012 The transport properties of Brownian ratchet were studied in the presence of stochastic intensity noise in both overdamped and underdamped regimes. In the overdamped case, an analytical solution using the matrix-continued fraction method revealed the existence of a maximum current when the noise intensity fluctuates on intermediate ...

Blue noise through optimal transport [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2012 We present a fast, scalable algorithm to generate high-quality blue noise point distributions of arbitrary density functions. At its core is a novel formulation of the recently-introduced concept of capacity-constrained Voronoi tessellation as an optimal transport problem.

Behavioral and Emotional Disorders and Transportation Noise among Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019 Children and adolescents may be particularly vulnerable to environmental influences such as noise which can affect mental well-being. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of transportation noise on behavioral and emotional ...
