Abstract
Road traffic is a prominent source of environmental noise exposure in urbanized areas. Because of its common presence, traffic is a source of exposure that is not easy to avoid. As a consequence, it is affecting a substantial proportion of residents in their homes, and in their living environment more in general. In view of reducing the number of people affected by environmental noise exposure, the European Environmental Noise Directive (END) was adopted in 2002, geared towards the assessment and management of environmental noise.
