Noise barrier treatment is a traffic noise pollution prevention project. Many domestic residents along high-grade highways are densely distributed and there are many sensitive points in the acoustic environment. Traffic noise will have a large environmental impact along the route. The design of the noise barrier from the EIA stage to the construction stage is inconsistent with the actual situation. Therefore, in order to improve and optimize the noise reduction measures along the line and reasonably control the cost of the noise barrier project, many should be optimized. We shoud clarify the noise barrier installation location, scale, acoustic material technical requirements, standards, and engineering cost estimates, focusing on the principle of no reduction in noise reduction, strong operability, and economical practicality, in order to highlight the purpose of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

An assessment of noise quality was conducted at underground and overground metro stations, within the metro rakes (AC and Non-AC) and at an institutional building near elevated metro corridor to assess the exposure of Kolkata Metro Railway System. The present study was conducted in different hours (peak and non-peak hour) for different types of rake (AC and Non-AC) movement. Different noise descriptors including A-weighted equivalent noise (Leq), statistical noise (L10,L50,L90), noise climate (NC), traffic noise index (TNI), two hour noise dose (%ND) and corresponding time-weighted average (TWA) were calculated under the purview of the present study. Pearson’s correlation was performed between all noise descriptors to investigate the relation between them. Scatter plot analysis was conducted between L10 and %ND. In case of all study duration, all noise descriptors mostly exceeded FTA prescribed noise standard, along with 2-hr TWA which exceeded the OSHA guidelines of 100 dB for both AC and Non-AC rakes. On the other hand, at underground and overground metro stations, within metro rakes (except at day peak hour within AC coach) and at school building, mean value of traffic noise index (TNI) exceeded 74 dB (A), the threshold of over criterion. The study results indicate that Non-AC rakes are more annoying than AC-rakes. In all the study units, Leq was influenced by L10, which originates from pressure honking. There is very strong relationship observed between L10 and % ND. This study proposes that noise barrier should be installed at underground and overground metro stations, along the stretches of overground metro track, within metro rakes for developing the acoustic quality of Kolkata Metro Railway System and the areas of its immediate vicinity.

Traffic noise is a major cause of noise pollution, and impacts of noise pollution on humans have been studied extensively. Previous studies have helped in the development of traffic noise prediction analysis using robust analytical and computational models, parameters connected with traffic, road characteristics, and environment. This study reviewed 11 traffic noise modeling strategies and parameters used by various agencies in different parts of the world. Seven out of the 11 models reviewed in this paper were based on outdoor measurements while the remaining four were based on outdoor and indoor measurements. Considering the cost and time involved in developing these models, there is need to understand existing traffic noise models, differences, and assumptions before adopting or recalibrating them for local demands. This study contributes to the larger body of knowledge and intends to serve as a reference material for future researchers in the area of traffic noise modeling and techniques.

Just like the other countries in the world, urban road traffic noise pollution is widespread in China, and with the acceleration of its urbanization process, noise pollution continuously arises. However, China’s legislation and governance measures on noise pollution control began in 1989, which is relatively late. Based on the urban road traffic noise pollution status and typical cities’ measures in China, and combined with the successful experiences of developed countries, this paper analyzes the causes and puts forward corresponding prevention and control measures from five aspects, such as improving the laws and regulations, focusing on planning and design, thinking highly of Noise Mapping, carrying out special noise reduction projects and strengthening management measures, as a reference for the relevant jurisdictions and scientific researchers.

When repairing and replacing electrical wiring in enterprises, the main difficulty is the lack or poor quality of documentation, plans for conductors laying. Distinguishing wires (cables) and their cores by the color of the shells or using tags attached to the ends is difficult if the shells have the same color and there are no tags. Devices and technical solutions used to identify wires and cables do not allow recognizing conductors without breaking the electrical circuit, removing insulation, and de-energizing the network. Searching for the right conductor is a time-consuming operation. (Research purpose) The research purpose is developing a new microcontroller device for identifying wires using an acoustic signal. (Materials and methods) Literature sources has been searched for devices for conductors identifying. (Results and discussion) The article proposes a method that involves feeding an acoustic signal to a wire at one point and capturing it at another, in order to recognize the desired wire. The article presents results of comparison of the developed microcontroller device for identifying conductors using an acoustic signal with known devices and methods for conductors recognizing. (Conclusions) The article reveals the shortcomings of existing methods and means of identifying wires and cables. Authors performed a theoretical calculation of the sound pressure in the conductor at a given distance. The article presents the calculation of speed of acoustic waves in conductors with different types of insulation. Authors designed a microcontroller device for identifying conductors using an acoustic signal and tested it. It was determined that the device increases the safety of work, reduces the cost of operating internal wiring and identification time; eliminates the violation of wire insulation, the need to disable electrical receivers. The convergence of theoretical calculations and experimental data was shown.

AbstractDe-manufacturing and re-manufacturing are fundamental technical solutions to efficiently recover value from post-use products. Disassembly in one of the most complex activities in de-manufacturing because i) the more manual it is the higher is its cost, ii) disassembly times are variable due to uncertainty of conditions of products reaching their EoL, and iii) because it is necessary to know which components to disassemble to balance the cost of disassembly. The paper proposes a methodology that finds ways of applications: it can be applied at the design stage to detect space for product design improvements, and it also represents a baseline from organizations approaching de-manufacturing for the first time. The methodology consists of four main steps, in which firstly targets components are identified, according to their environmental impact; secondly their disassembly sequence is qualitatively evaluated, and successively it is quantitatively determined via disassembly times, predicting also the status of the component at their End of Life. The aim of the methodology is reached at the fourth phase when alternative, eco-friendlier End of Life strategies are proposed, verified, and chosen.
