A SURVEY, CONDUCTED AMONG A SAMPLE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WHOLE POPULATION, HAS SHOWN THE IMPORTANCE GIVEN BY FRONTAGERS TO THE VIBRATION CAUSED BY VEHICLES, IN PARTICULAR HEAVY VEHICLES. AN ANALYSIS WILL BE MADE OF THE PHYSICAL PHENOMENA RELATING TO THE TRANSMISSION OF MECHANICAL AND AERIAL VIBRATIONS (INFRA-SOUNDS AND LOW-FREQUENCY SOUNDS) FOR A NUMBER OF SPECIFIC TRAFFIC CONDITIONS: BUS STOP IN A U-STREET, JUNCTION WITH AND WITHOUT TRAFFIC SIGNALS, VICINITY OF AN ELEVATED ROAD, BLOCKS OF FLATS OR DETACHED HOUSES. INTERVIEWS WILL TAKE PLACE WITH FRONTAGERS SO THAT THE LATTER WILL BE ABLE TO DEFINE THE RELEVANT PHENOMENA, THEIR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY, AGE, TIME OF DAY WHEN NUISANCE OCCURS, DURATION OF EXPOSURE. IT IS HOPED THAT THE RESULTS WILL HELP TOWARDS THE EVALUATION OF THE RESPECTIVE INFLUENCE ON NUISANCE OF THE MECHANICAL STRESSES TRANSMITTED BY THE PAVEMENT, AND OF THE LOW FREQUENCY SOUNDS TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE AIR TOGETHER WITH THE INFLUENCE OF TOWN PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE. |
