TL;DR: In this article, potential pathways linking greenspace to health are presented in three domains, which emphasize three general functions of greenspace: reducing harm (e.g., reducing exposure to air pollution, noise and heat), restoring capacities (i.e., attention restoration and physiological stress recovery), and encouraging physical activity and facilitating social cohesion). Interrelations between among the three domains are also noted.

Dynamic traffic assignment: A review of the methodological advances for environmentally sustainable road transportation applications
TL;DR: This review summarizes and examines the recent methodological advances of DTA models in environmentally sustainable road transportation applications including traffic signal control concerning vehicular emissions and emission pricing and points out that at present the research about DTA Models in conjunction with noise predictive models is relatively deficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Road traffic air and noise pollution exposure assessment - A review of tools and techniques.
TL;DR: There is a significant potential for developing a standard tool to assess combined exposure of traffic related air and noise pollution to facilitate health related studies and GIS, due to its geographic nature, is well established and has a significant capability to simultaneously address both exposures.

Selection of suitable alternatives to reduce the environmental impact of road traffic noise using a fuzzy multi-criteria decision model
Alejandro Ruiz-Padillo,Alejandro Ruiz-Padillo,Diego P. Ruiz,Antonio J. Torija,Ángel Ramos-Ridao +4 more
TL;DR: A multi-criteria decision methodology for the selection of suitable alternatives against traffic noise in each of the road stretches included in the NAPs is proposed and its implementation is described in a complex real case study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling roadway traffic noise in a hot climate using artificial neural networks
TL;DR: In-depth analysis showed that the distance from the edge of road was found to be the most significant contributing factor whereas heavy-vehicle volume was surprisingly found toBe the least, and the performance of both ANN and conventional road noise models was improved by including roadway temperature.

A critical review of some traffic noise prediction models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of traffic noise prediction models and the desiderata for these models and discuss several commonly used models and others under development, as well as some new models with different spectra.
Applications of Attenuations and Reflections in ISO 9613-2, Acoustics – Attenuation of Sound During Propagation Outdoors – Part 2: General Method of Calculation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how in the United States there are no national standards for the computation of outdoor sound propagation and ISO 9613-2 is more and more frequently used for such computations.
