Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., & Ruiz, D. (2012). Using recorded sound spectra profile as input data for real-time short-term urban road-traffic-flow estimation. Science of the Total Environment, 435-43, 270-279. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2012.07.014

Road traffic has a heavy impact on the urban sound environment, constituting the main source of noise and
widely dominating its spectral composition. In this context, our research investigates the use of recorded
sound spectra as input data for the... Read More about Using recorded sound spectra profile as input data for real-time short-term urban road-traffic-flow estimation.
