Selecting Road-Noise Abatement Measures: Economic Analysis of Different Policy Objectives
To satisfy new legislation, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration implemented a national façade insulation program encompassing 2,500 dwellings exposed to high levels of road traffic noise. Thereby, the road owner brought the equivalent noise levels from road traffic in compliance with a new indoor limit of 42dB. Cost-effectiveness analyses show that façade insulation was the least expensiv...
متن کاملBenefit measures for noise abatement: calculations for road and rail traffic noise
Purpose The aim of this study is to estimate monetary abatement values for road and rail traffic noise that can be used for policy purposes. However, a main objective is to critically discuss the assumptions necessary to convert the monetary values elicited in willingness to pay (WTP) studies to values than can be use for policy purposes. Methods We employ the hedonic regression technique on Sw...
متن کاملEconomic Evaluation of Road Traffic Safety Measures
The economic appraisal of road safety measures poses the basic problem of determining which method to use for the valuation of road safety measures. Given that road safety or, to be more precise, lack of road safety is measured in terms of the total number of fatalities and injuries, either slight or severe, the economic calculation can be based on the value of human life and the estimated cost...
متن کاملSelecting Observations against Adversarial Objectives
In many applications, one has to actively select among a set of expensive observations before making an informed decision. Often, we want to select observations which perform well when evaluated with an objective function chosen by an adversary. Examples include minimizing the maximum posterior variance in Gaussian Process regression, robust experimental design, and sensor placement for outbrea...
متن کاملEvaluation of Traffic Management Measures on Road Traffic Noise
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 necessary to estimate the noise level. For this, a number of noise estimation models have been developed which can estimate noise at the recep...
