    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; noise simulation; traffic; Nord2000 model; building façade types; roof configurations; geospatial data; 3CIM; SoundPLAN; acoustic properties; urban areas; 3D city model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. READ MORE

  3. 2. Acoustic Characterization of Catalyst

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Surachit Dokson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The WHO has set a sound level threshold of 55 dB, beyond which noise is considered harmful to humans when exposed for an extended period of time. It is, however, estimated by the European Environmental Agency that over 110 million people in the EU are regularly exposed to levels of traffic noise above 55 dB. READ MORE

  4. 3. Road traffic noise simulations based on 3D city models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Wenjing Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D city model; 3CIM; CNOSSOS-EU; noise simulation; city noise evaluation; data tailor; FME; SoundPLAN; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Urban development and densification cause noise problems that can have a negative impact on human health. In 2002, the European Union (EU) stated the European Noise Directive (END) with the purpose to evaluate environmental noise levels (including the sources road, railway, and air traffic) in the member states every 5 years.

  5. 4. Den återhämtningskvalitativa modellen : ett analysverktyg med syfte att synliggöra restorativa värden i landskapet

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Emma Granell; [2023]
    Keywords : restorativa värden; landskapsplanering; Trafikverkets planeringsprocess; återhämtningskvalitet; landskap för mental hälsa;

    Abstract : Examensarbetets syfte är att skapa en modell som kan användas vid landskapsplanering för att identifiera restorativa naturliga vardagslandskap. Modellen ska vara förankrad i forskning och ska av yrkesverksamma vara lättanvänd i praktiken. READ MORE

  6. 5. The future noise mapping model in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk akustik
