Since the introduction of the Environmental Noise Directive, strategic noise mapping has
been used as a tool for noise policy in many European countries. Although these strategic …

Recently, there has been a growing interest in externalities in our society, mainly in the
context of climate and air quality, which are of importance when policy decisions are made …

Considering traffic flow as a steady noise source is common practice when studying traffic
alternatives and its impact on the sound environment. However, vehicle dynamics have a …

Three families of road noise prediction models can be distinguished. Static noise models
only consider free-flow constant-speed traffic with uniformly distributed vehicles. Analytic …

Traffic noise prediction is an important topic for traffic environment planning in cities. The
complex traffic flow at road intersections makes the prediction of traffic noise challenging. In …

The need for traffic noise prediction models that take traffic dynamics into account has been
recently shown for urban areas. Such models couple a dynamic representation of traffic with …

The analysis, assessment and estimation of noise levels in the vicinity of intersections is a
more complex problem than a similar analysis for roads and streets. This is due to the varied …

The existing traffic noise prediction models in road intersections relate mainly to the typical
solutions of intersection geometry and traffic organisation. There are no models for large and …

Dynamic traffic management measures are potentially powerful measures to not only
improve network efficiency but also to reduce externalities of traffic (ie emissions of …

Today road traffic noise represents one of the most serious environmental problems in urban
areas. It is well known that the specific deceleration and acceleration dynamics of traffic at …
