Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transportation provides our daily lives with convenience. For example, airplanes can easily transport goods from one country to another in a few days’ time, while automobiles and trains can allow us to easily travel from one destination to another in a short period of time. However, the noise produced by the various transport modes may be undesirable. To date, transportation noise pollution remains an issue in the built environment, affecting the quality of life among residents. As we progress towards sustainable cities, it is imperative to address the noise issue with solutions that are not only innovative but also practical to implement in different climates.
This Special Issue serves as an avenue to publish research on practical solutions for transportation noise mitigation in the built environment. Solutions that tackle the source, path, or receiver are all welcomed. Review articles relevant to the scope are also welcomed.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Linus Yinn Leng Ang
Guest Editor
