As part of a 15-year railway noise remediation plan, 300km of noise barriers will be installed in Switzerland over the next few years. To enable pultruded glass fiber- reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials to be used for the noise barrier posts, a specificat ...
We apply the hedonic model to the rental markets of the Geneva and Zurich urban areas, Switzerland, in order to assess the value of natural land uses and land use diversity. In order to construct variables to quantify land uses and patterns in the neighbou ...
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 ...
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 ...
This paper focuses on practical aspects when performing boresight calibration in airborne laser scanning using rigorous methodology implemented in LIBOR software. LIBOR technique, introduced by (Skaloud and Lichti, 2006), is based on expressing the boresig ...
We propose a new orthonormal wavelet thresholding algorithm for denoising color images that are assumed to be corrupted by additive Gaussian white noise of known intercolor covariance matrix. The proposed wavelet denoiser consists of a linear expansion of ...
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 ...
A software tool (DRONE) has been developed to evaluate road traffic noise in a large area with the consideration of network dynamic traffic flow and the buildings. For more precise estimation of noise in urban network where vehicles are mainly in stop and ...
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 ...
