  1. 1. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Soraya Hosseinvash Azari; [2023]
    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. Changes in cetacean presence and behavior in response to reduced marine traffic - the effects of a nationwide lockdown

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad

    Author : Lisa Falk Lindberg; Lindqvist Erika; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Creating noise-pollution and other disturbances, marine traffic poses a great threat to marine mammals all over the world which may demonstrate through short- and long-term changes in behavior and distribution. The Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 provided a setting to study the effects of marine traffic on cetacean presence and interactive behavior. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mapping Noise Pollution with Open-source GIS

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad

    Author : Faustina Lina Yeboah; [2021]
    Keywords : Road traffic noise; CNOSSOS-EU; noise exposure; Lday; Levening; Lnight; Lden;

    Abstract : In a time when urban areas continue to expand, environmental noise pollution especially from road traffic remains a big challenge. This study was aimed at using open-source GIS tools to predict road traffic noise pollution using the mid-sized city of Gävle as a case study. READ MORE

  6. 5. Addressing a large-scale implementation of low-emission zones in France

    University essay from KTH/Systemanalys och ekonomi

    Author : Mina Roncière; [2020]
    Keywords : low-emisson zone; air quality; air pollution; transport policy; urban typology;

    Abstract : Air pollution is a public health issue, and traffic is one of the main sources of pollutants such as NO2, PM10 and PM2.5. Consequently, European cities have been implementing low-emission zones (LEZs) by defining regulated areas, where the most-polluting vehicles are prohibited from driving. READ MORE
