Abstract

Abstract This study presents the results of a traffic simulation analysis and emissions (greenhouse gas and noise) assessment comparing pre-pandemic (2019) and post-pandemic (2022) periods. The estimation of road traffic demand is based on conventional data sources and floating car data; next, the traffic simulation procedure was performed providing road network traffic volumes, which are the input for the emission models. The diffusion of teleworking, e-commerce, as well as the digitization of many processes, services and activities, lead to a significant change in urban mobility. Results show a significant though still not complete resumption of commuters travel activity (−10% compared to pre-pandemic period) in the morning peak-hour. This translates into an 11% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and a 0.1% increase in noise emissions.

比较大流行前后罗马(意大利)道路交通的温室气体和噪音排放:多步骤方法

摘要本研究介绍了交通模拟分析和排放（温室气体和噪音）评估的结果，比较了疫情前（2019年）和疫情后（2022年）。道路交通需求的估计是基于传统的数据源和浮动汽车数据；接下来，执行交通模拟程序，提供道路网络交通量，这是排放模型的输入。远程工作、电子商务的普及，以及许多流程、服务和活动的数字化，导致了城市流动性的重大变化。结果显示，通勤者在早高峰时段的出行活动显著恢复（与疫情前相比下降了-10%），但仍未完全恢复。这意味着温室气体排放量减少了11%，噪音排放量增加了0.1%。

期刊介绍： Ever since its inception, Noise Mapping has been offering fast and comprehensive peer-review, while featuring prominent researchers among its Advisory Board. As a result, the journal is set to acquire a growing reputation as the main publication in the field of noise mapping, thus leading to a significant Impact Factor. The journal aims to promote and disseminate knowledge on noise mapping through the publication of high quality peer-reviewed papers focusing on the following aspects: noise mapping and noise action plans: case studies; models and algorithms for source characterization and outdoor sound propagation: proposals, applications, comparisons, round robin tests; local, national and international policies and good practices for noise mapping, planning, management and control; evaluation of noise mitigation actions; evaluation of environmental noise exposure; actions and communications to increase public awareness of environmental noise issues; outdoor soundscape studies and mapping; classification, evaluation and preservation of quiet areas.
