Application of the noise annoyance equivalents model for aircraft, rail and road traffic noise to self-reported sleep disturbance

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 ...

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

Exposure to long-term source-specific transportation noise and incident breast cancer: A pooled study of eight Nordic cohorts.

Environment International, 2023
BACKGROUND Environmental noise is an important environmental exposure that can affect health. An association between transportation noise and breast cancer incidence has been suggested, although current evidence is limited.

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.

Too loud to handle?: transportation noise and cardiovascular disease.

Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
The WHO reports that more than 1.6 million healthy life-years are lost yearly from traffic-related noise in Western Europe. In addition, the number of studies reporting health side effects in response to traffic noise is steadily growing, mainly ...

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

Sozialräumliche Unterschiede im Engagement älterer Großstadtbewohner gegen Verkehrslärm? Schlussfolgerungen für eine verteilungs- und verfahrensgerechte Lärmaktionsplanung

Raumforschung und Raumordnung, 2023
Exposure to transportation noise is a highly prevalent health burden in urban areas. Social-spatially unequal distributions of transportation noise exposure can contribute to health inequalities (distributional environmental justice).
