1. Assessment of aggregate structure in porous asphalt using X-ray computed tomography
University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknikAbstract : X-ray computed tomography is a technique that has been successfully utilized to characterize internal microstructure of asphalt mixtures. The city of Linköping (Sweden) developed an action plan to reduce noise; accordingly KTH and VTI developed a method to determine air void content in porous asphalt using x-ray computed tomography and an image processing software called ImageJ.

2. Road traffic noise simulations based on 3D city models
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : 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.
