Third-wave scientific articles

Third wave scientific articles based in the tasks in WP1-WP8

Innovative Noise Modelling

A report on innovative noise modelling approaches including enhanced traffic data, the application of the CNOSSOS methodology including improved traffic flow estimates, QSide (estimate of background noise levels due to distant sources) and identifying quiet facades and the variability in noise levels around buildings.

Second wave scientific articles

Second wave scientific papers base on the tasks in WP1WP7

Dissemination of outcomes

The results of Equal-Life actions and activities will be disseminated within the wider scientific community, and a full range of potential users and uses including publichealth, environmental, policymaking, setting standards, skills and training. A dissemination strategy will be developed and actualized in WP10 to reflect the objectives of the project. The aim is to be as inclusive as possible and to explain theaims and the significance of the activities to a large audience. The Equal-Life network will use a number of existing dissemination resources, tools and infrastructures (both online and offline) which will provide information and ensure increased awareness of this project to global audiences.
