Salomons, E.M. (author), Dittrich, M.G. (author)The negative health effects of road traffic noise in the EU are analyzed over the period 2020–2035. For a baseline scenario, with autonomous traffic growth and fleet development, we find that there will be 31 million highly annoyed persons and 15 million highly sleep-disturbed persons in the EU in 2030. The corresponding EU health burden in 2030...article 2022

Salomons, E.M. (author), Binnerts, B. (author), Betke, K. (author), von Benda-Beckman, A.M. (author)An analysis is presented of sound measurements performed near two detonations of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in the North Sea, at distances ranging from 1.5 to 12 km. The charge masses of the detonations were 325 and 140 kg TNT equivalent. The objective of the measurements was to improve the accuracy of model predictions of the area where UXO...article 2021

Salomons, E.M. (author), Eisses, A.R. (author), van der Eerden, F.J.M. (author)Noise barriers along highways in the Netherlands are often tilted, at an angle of typically 10 degrees from the vertical. In this way, it is prevented that sound reflections arrive at distant receivers along curved sound paths through the refracting atmosphere. In this paper we compare results of two types of calculation methods for sound...conference paper 2020

Hartstra, I.E. (author), Salomons, E.M. (author), Colin, M.E.G.D. (author), Prior, M.K. (author)Passive-sonar-performance modelling requires the accurate estimation of the acoustic field for a broad range of frequencies in various environments. In this paper, we assess the suitability of a Gaussian Beam (Bellhop) and Parabolic Equation model (RAM), whereby we focus primarily on computational efficiency. For Parabolic Equation (PE) models...conference paper 2019

Data Collection and Modeling Results to Permit Estimation of Meteorological Effects on Roadway NoiseWayson, R.L. (author), Kaliski, K. (author), MacDonald, J.M. (author), Salomons, E.M. (author), Reiter, D.D. (author)The estimation of absolute road traffic noise levels without including the effects of meteorology is thought to be a major source of error in the estimation process commonly used in the United States. In response, the Transportation Research Board-sponsored NCHRP 25-52, Meteorological Effects on Roadway Noise, to collect highway noise data under...article 2019

Salomons, E.M. (author), Bakri, T. (author)Temporal variations of traffic noise levels originate from two effects: (1) traffic variations and (2) atmospheric variations. Traffic variations include variations of traffic volume and vehicle speed, and cause variations of the emission of sound at the source. Atmospheric variations cause variations of the propagation of sound from the source...article 2018

Salomons, E.M. (author), Lohman, W.J.A. (author), Zhou, H. (author)Propagation of sound waves in air can be considered as a special case of fluid dynamics. Consequently, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for fluid flow can be used for simulating sound propagation. In this article application of the LBM to sound propagation is illustrated for various cases: free-field propagation, propagation over porous and...article 2016

Salomons, E.M. (author), Zhou, H. (author), Lohman, W.J.A. (author)Traffic noise mapping of cities requires large computer calculation times. This originates from the large number of point-to-point sound propagation calculations that must be performed. In this article it is demonstrated that noise mapping calculation times can be reduced considerably by the use of parallel computation on the Graphics Processing...conference paper 2014

Noise peaks caused by automobiles pulling up or passing by at highspeed may be quite annoying for people living near the intersection. Detailedprediction of the variations is...article 2014

(author)In urban areas, road traffrc noise is a dominant source of environmental noise and a major cause of noise annoyance and disturbed sleep. It has been hypothesized that respondents highly exposed to noise at multiple sides of their dwelling, may be expected to be worse off than respondents with the same exposure at the most exposed side, but also...conference paper 2013

Road traffic noise and annoyance: A quantification of the effect of quiet side exposure at dwellingsde Kluizenaar, Y. (author), Janssen, S.A. (author), Vos, H. (author), Salomons, E.M. (author), Zhou, H. (author), van den Berg, F. (author)Previous studies indicate that residents may benefit from a "quiet side" to their dwellings. The influence of the level of road traffic noise exposure at the least exposed side on road traffic noise annoyance was studied in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Road traffic noise exposure was assessed at the most and least exposed façade (Lden,most and...article 2013
