Using recorded sound spectra profile as input data for real-time short-term urban road-traffic-flow estimation (2012)
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...

Use of back-propagation neural networks to predict both level and temporal-spectral composition of sound pressure in urban sound environments (2012)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., Ruiz, D., & Ramos-Ridao, A. (2012). Use of back-propagation neural networks to predict both level and temporal-spectral composition of sound pressure in urban sound environments. Building and Environment, 52, 45-56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2011.12.024

One of the main challenges of urban planning is to create soundscapes capable of providing inhabitants with a high quality of life. Urban planners need tools that enable them to approach the final goal of designing, planning, and assessing soundsca...

Estimation procedure of the descriptor LAeq,T from the stabilization time of the sound pressure level value (2012)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., Ruiz, D., & Ramos-Ridao, A. (2012). Estimation procedure of the descriptor LAeq,T from the stabilization time of the sound pressure level value. Noise and Vibration Worldwide, 43(1), 11-18. https://doi.org/10.1260/0957-4565.43.1.11

Temporal structure of sound pressure level is a key aspect at the time of characterizing urban sound environments. In urban agglomerations, environmental noise levels fluctuate over a large range as a result of the great complexity of these sett...
