24 lis 2022 · The National Transportation Noise Map provides a basis for understanding what-if scenarios and helping policy makers and planners to prioritize noise-related transportation investments. The data allow viewing the national picture of potential exposure to aviation, highway, and rail noise.
5 gru 2013 · In 1981, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that nearly 100 million people in the United States (about 50% of the population) had annual exposures to traffic noise that were high enough to be harmful to health (Simpson and Bruce 1981).
Our study highlights the increasing significance of transportation noise exposure in US cities, with a disproportionately adverse impact on minority racial-ethnic groups. These findings underscore the critical need to address the unequal exposure to transportation noise experienced by vulnerable populations.
1 gru 2022 · Unlike air pollution, traffic-related noise remains unregulated and has been under-studied despite evidence of its deleterious health impacts. To characterize population exposure to traffic noise, both acoustic-based numerical models and data-driven statistical approaches can generate estimates over large urban areas.
9 wrz 2020 · Because of the rapid increase in technology, industrialization, urbanization and other communication and transport systems, noise pollution has reached to a disturbing level over the years which needs to be studied and controlled to avoid different health effects like high blood pressure, sleeplessness, nausea, heart attack, depression ...
In 2016 USDOT’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), with support from the department’s Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, launched the National Transportation Noise Map initiative to track trends in noise related to multiple transportation modes. [1]
Created by the U.S Bureau of Transportation Statistics, this mapping project takes data from the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration and uses it to illustrate the different noise levels within the United States.
