Abstract

Abstract This study presents the result of a traffic simulation analysis based on Floating Car Data and a noise emission assessment to show the impact of mobility restriction for COVID-19 containment on urban vehicular traffic and road noise pollution on the road network of Rome, Italy. The adoption of strong and severe measures to contain the spreading of Coronavirus during March-April 2020 generated a significant reduction in private vehicle trips in the city of Rome (-64.6% during the lockdown). Traffic volumes, obtained through a simulation approach, were used as input parameters for a noise emission assessment conducted using the CNOSSOS-EU method, and an overall noise emissions reduction on the entire road network was found, even if its extent varied between road types.

在新冠肺炎疾病控制措施的背景下，分析罗马（意大利）的城市交通量和绘制噪音排放图

摘要本研究提供了基于浮动车辆数据和噪声排放评估的交通模拟分析结果，以显示新冠肺炎控制行动限制对意大利罗马道路网的城市车辆交通和道路噪声污染的影响。2020年3月至4月，罗马市采取了强有力的严厉措施来遏制冠状病毒的传播，导致私家车出行大幅减少（封锁期间减少了64.6%）。通过模拟方法获得的交通量被用作使用CNOSSOS-EU方法进行的噪声排放评估的输入参数，并且发现整个道路网络的总体噪声排放减少，即使其程度因道路类型而异。

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.
