The present thesis applies the property hedonic price model in order to assess the economic value of environmental amenities and discrimination on the Swiss rental markets of Geneva and Zurich. Indeed, economic textbooks teach that differentials in environ ...
This dissertation collects three essays on the hedonic modelling of housing prices, location attributes and environmental amenities – or lack thereof. The first essay applies spatial econometric techniques to measure the impact of airport noise on the pric ...
The relationships between instantaneous space-variables and (easily measurable) local time-variables in largely homogeneous and stationary traffic flow, as typically encountered in uninterrupted traffic conditions, are briefly reviewed. An elaborate analys ...
Low frequency background noise (below 200 Hz) is perceptible in many situations such as in room acoustics or industrials issues. Generate by numerous type of source (traffic noise, aircraft, industrial plants, electricity transformer,… ), this type of nois ...
This paper discusses the areawide Dynamic ROad traffic NoisE (DRONE) simulator, and its implementation as a tool for noise abatement policy evaluation. DRONE involves integrating a road traffic noise estimation model with a traffic simulator to estimate ro ...
Thermo-mechanical detector arrays in the 160 x 120 array format are designed, fabricated, and tested. Detectors are composed of SiNx and TiN as absorbing layer, Al to form bimaterial legs, and integrated diffraction grating interferometer underneath each d ...
We propose a novel configuration for a Brillouin distributed sensor based on Brillouin optical time domain analysis. This new configuration eliminates many intensity noise issues found in previous schemes. Resolution of 3.5 m all over a 47km single-mode fi ...

There has been a significant growth in freight traffic over the last few decades in Europe. The Alps, located in the middle of North-South route, are particularly sensitive regarding this evolution because of their topographic and climatic characteristics. ...
Road traffic noise affects the quality of life in the areas adjoining the road. The effect of traffic noise on people is wide ranging and may include sleep disturbance and negative impact on work efficiency. To address the problem of traffic noise, it is n ...
The noise emission level from a vehicle is significantly influenced by different driving conditions and drivers’ behaviour. Almost all the in practice road traffic noise estimation models do not differentiate between different operating conditions. In this ...
