Environmental Noise Impact Assessment for Large-Scale Surface Mining Operations in Serbia

Noise Estimation for future large-scale small UAS Operations

This paper provides estimates for ambient noise levels that may be generated by future unmanned air traffic in low-altitude uncontrolled urban airspace. It is motivated by the need to assess the aural impact on communities from such large-scale close proximity unmanned aircraft operations. We simulate unmanned traffic over urban areas and estimate the noise footprint generated over a day. We co...

Large Scale Environmental Assessment and Degradation Management: The Case of Food Insecurity in Ethiopia

Environmental Impact Assessment of Pump Noise

Noise and vibration present increasing environmental problems to society. Noise and vibration are hazards to human when they occur at high levels, or continue for a long time. High noise levels can cause hearing loss, headaches, dizziness, high blood pressure, loss of concentration, heart disease...etc. There are many researches addressed effect of pumping stations' noise and vibration on perfo...

Drive-by Large-scale Tomographic Mapping of Environmental Noise Sources

In recent years, environmental noise has become a major concern in large urban areas, significantly reducing the quality of life and health. The measurement, localization and monitoring of various environmental noise sources are the key elements of success in tackling the urban noise problem. However, the deployment of fixed microphones at a dense grid of locations becomes prohibitively expensi...

Models for Aircraft Surface Operations Environmental Analysis

Aircraft emissions at airports represent a significant environmental impact. Higher air quality standards have led to improvements in emissions over the past several decades, but future growth in air travel will make it more difficult to meet the standards. As part of current research into ways to improve airport surface operations, it was found that improved methods of estimating aircraft emis...
