The main aim of this study was to try and improve noise exposure estimates for people living in residential areas. Although a good coverage of traffic counts is available for major roads, minor roads are often assigned a constant daily vehicle flow. This is a problem for exposure estimates as noise predictions are reliant on accurate traffic flow data. Here, we attempt to use network routing (similar to SatNav applications) to identify which minor roads are most commonly used within the road network and assign an importance index accordingly. This can then be used to relate to traffic levels. Reference: Morley, D.W., & Gulliver, J. (2016). Methods to improve traffic flow and noise exposure estimation on minor roads.
