With the acceleration of global urbanization, airport noise pollution has emerged as a significant environmental concern that demands attention. Traditional airport noise monitoring systems are fraught with limitations, including restricted spatial c...

Aviation is a vital modern transportation sector connecting millions of passengers globally. Sustainable aviation development holds substantial community benefits, necessitating effective management of its environmental impacts. This paper addresses...

The Impact Monitor Project is a European initiative designed to develop an impact assessment toolbox and framework, targeting the European aviation sector. The proposed framework is not only aimed at the environment, economics, and operations but als...

The European Noise Directive fixed a well-defined schedule on a five-year basis for the noise exposure evaluation of citizens. Noise monitoring is needed to validate noise maps of the main transportation infrastructures and it can also represent an i...

Rendering at the European Directive 2002/49/EC, all EU members have to draw up a strategic noise map for all agglomerations with more than 250,000 inhabitants and for all major airports, roads and railways. A study of environmental impact assessment...

Noise annoyance due to aircraft operations extends well beyond the 55 Lden noise contours as calculated according to the Environmental Noise Directive (END). Noise mapping beyond these contours will improve the understanding of the perception, annoya...

Background Noise in the vicinity of airports is a public health problem. Many laboratory studies have shown that heart rate is altered during sleep after exposure to road or railway noise. Fewer studies have looked at the effects of exposure to aircr...

Airport activity causes the emission of particulate matter and noise, two environmental contaminants and potential health hazards, particularly for the personnel operating nearby taxiways. We explored the association between exposure to fine/ultrafin...

Aircraft noise causes a variety of negative health consequences, and annoyance is a central factor mediating stress-related health risks. Non-acoustic factors play an important role in the experience of annoyance where the aspect of fairness is assum...

In the light of sustainability, satisfactory living conditions is an important factor for people’s positive feedback in their own living environment. Acoustic comfort and noise exposure should then be carefully monitored in all human settlement...

Objectives: Airports in the U.S. have gradually been transitioning to automated flight systems. These systems generate new flight paths over populated areas. While they can improve flight efficiency, the increased noise associated with these novel fl...

Doppler lidars are used worldwide for wind monitoring and recently also for the detection of aerosols. Automatic algorithms that classify the lidar signals retrieved from lidar measurements are very useful for the users. In this study, we explore the...

Aircraft detection plays a vital role in aviation management and safe operation in the aviation system. Phase-Sensitive Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) technology is a prevailing sensing method in geophysics research, structure inspection,...

Traditional methods for monitoring the foundation settlement of airport runways predominantly employ equipment such as leveling instruments, total stations, layered settlement instruments, magnetic ring settlement instruments, ground-penetrating rada...

Clustering of aircraft trajectories in terminal airspace is essential for procedure evaluation, flow monitoring, and anomaly detection, yet it is challenged by dense traffic, irregular sampling, and diverse maneuvering behaviors. This study proposes...

Droughts have negative impacts on agricultural productivity and economic growth. Effective monitoring and accurate forecasting of drought occurrences and trends are crucial for minimizing drought losses and mitigating their spatial and temporal effec...

In the era of globalization and information technology, the aviation industry has experienced rapid growth. However, the increase in flight numbers has exacerbated environmental issues such as exhaust emissions and noise pollution, raising significan...

Infrared imaging technology demonstrates significant advantages in aviation safety monitoring due to its exceptional all-weather operational capability and anti-interference characteristics, particularly in scenarios requiring real-time detection of...
