(author)Intelligent robotic autonomous systems (unmanned aerial/ground/surface/underwater vehicles) are attractive for military application to relieve humans from tedious or dangerous tasks. These systems require awareness of the environment and their own performance to reach a mission goal. This awareness enables them to adapt their operations to...conference paper 2019

van der Eerden, F.J.M. (author), van den Berg, F.H.A. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author), Kruyen, A.H.J. (author)The use of combining sound measurements and sound propagation modelling is increasing. In this paper the acoustic situation on and around a shooting range is considered. A monitoring system that automatically detects and localizes impulsive sound events is presented. The locations of these events are obtained by combining detections from...conference paper 2018

(author)A long-term monitoring project, with 12 months of continuous operation time, is described where the sound sources within a large industrial area as well as the sound levels in the nearby residential area are measured. The sources in the industrial area may give rise to complaints from the neighboring residential areas, at several kilometers...conference paper 2017

(author)Source localization using microphone arrays has now become common practice for many applications. Their application for long term monitoring of industrial noise nevertheless remains uncommon. Hence, in 2016 we deployed four microphone arrays near a large industrial area for a period of 12 months and explored the challenges involved. The...conference paper 2017

Wessels, P.W. (author), Basten, T.G.H. (author)An increase in public awareness of noise pollution and the impact of noise on human health has led to the need for enhanced insight in complex noise situations. This insight is commonly obtained either by brief measurements or by evaluation of a simplified acoustic model. Both of these approaches however have limitations in complex noise...article 2016

(author), Dekeling, R.P.A. (author)Concern exists about the potential effects of pile-driving sounds on fish, but evidence is limited, especially for fish larvae. A device was developed to expose larvae to accurately reproduced pile-driving sounds. Controlled exposure experiments were carried out to examine the lethal effects in common sole larvae. No significant effects were...conference paper 2016

Dittrich, M.G. (author), Bosshaart, C. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author)As part of a recent renovation of the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam, improvements were made to reduce impact noise caused by trams passing a series of rai! joints. The bridge inciudes several different sections inciuding a bascule bridge and is in an inner city tocation with new adjacent apartment buildings. At request of public transport company...conference paper 2015

Basten, T.G.H. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author)The last decade has shown a growing number and wide variety of systems for monitoring environmental noise. This ongoing development is made possible by the availability of cheaper and smaller hardware and innovations in communication networks. The developments are fed by a growing interest in monitoring because it can help in improving noise...conference paper 2014

Salomons, E.M. (author), Janssen, S.A. (author), Verhagen, H.L.M. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author)Annoyance and sleep disturbance by road and rail traffic noise in an urban area are investigated. Noise levels Lden and Lnight are determined with an engineering noise model that is optimized for the local situation, based on local noise measurements. The noise levels are combined with responses of 71 inhabitants to an annoyance survey to derive...conference paper 2014

Basten, T.G.H. (author), Wessels, P.W. (author)Acoustic monitoring using a sensor network is a powerful instrument to assess and manage complex noise situations. It can provide a basis to identify appropriate and cost effective measures, and to assess their effect by comparing before and after implementation. It can also be an instrument for communication and policy making. However, the...conference paper 2013

Wessels, P.W. (author), van Zon, A.T. (author), Basten, T.G.H. (author)Recent developments in acoustic monitoring systems make it possible to measure complex noise situations, like urban traffic noise, continuously. Monitoring provides more insight in the noise situation, from which more specific and (cost) effective measures can be taken. Monitoring also allows direct evaluation of the effect of mitigation, or to...conference paper 2013
