BACKGROUND The objective of the research work is to assess day time traffic noise level at curbside open-air microenvironment of Kolkata city, India under heterogeneous environmental conditions. RESULTS Prevailing traffic noise level in terms of A-weighted equivalent noise level (Leq) at the microenvironment was in excess of 12.6 ± 2.1 dB(A) from the day time standard of 65 dB(A) for commerci...

An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is implemented to evaluate traffic noise under heterogeneous traffic conditions of Nagpur city, India. The major factors which affect the traffic noise are traffic flow, vehicle speed and honking. These factors are considered as input parameters to ANFIS model for traffic noise estimation. The proposed ANFIS model has implemented for traffic nois...

a four year long research programme divided into four phases has been designed for the first time to assess the combined noise-air quality and combined exposure to noise-air pollution at the curbside open-air microenvironment of kolkata city, india. the results and the findings of the different phases of study had already been published. the objective of the review work is to fuse the findings ...

Abstract With the advancement of technology and drastic increase in number noise sources, environmental emission is increasing year by year. In case urban dwellers, from road traffic accounts for largest share pollution, with a negative health effects. The aim our research to monitor city Debrecen detail, using hourly data. After data processing, various situations were modeled according MSZ 15...

Environmental impact studies are strongly related to road traffic noise, especially in urban areas. A long term exposure to road traffic noise, in fact, can lead to relevant effects, both auditory (e.g. sleep disturbance, hearing loss, etc.) or not auditory (e.g. stress, anxiety, cardiovascular problems, etc.). A proper modelling of noise production and propagation is a challenging issue, espec...

it is accepted that noise pollution has a major impact on health, such as physical, physiological, psychological and performance related effects, all over the world. this study aims to evaluate noise pollution in four urban parks located in sanandaj city, iran and to zone it in gis environment. sound pressure level (spl) and maximum sound level (lmax) were measured at 45 points (each point was ...
