Background: Noise is a major public health issue because of its negative impacts on health, including annoyance, sleep disturbance, cardiovascular diseases and altered cognitive performance among children. Self-rated health status (SRHS) can be considered as a reliable indicator of quality of life, morbidity and mortality but few studies have consi...
In an urban area, it is increasingly common to have access to both a simulated noise map and a sensor network. Merging these two types of information could improve the quality of urban noise maps. In this paper, a data assimilation algorithm is developed to combine data from both a noise map simulator and a network of acoustic sensors. One-hour noi...

Many studies, including the HYENA and the DEBATS studies, showed a significant association between aircraft noise exposure and the risk of hypertension. Few studies have considered aircraft noise annoyance and noise sensitivity as factors of interest, especially in relation to hypertension risk, or as mediating or modifying factors. The present stu...
This paper considers the problem of set-membership estimation for discrete-time linear time-varying descriptor systems subject to unknown but bounded disturbance and noise. We propose a set-membership estimation method based on a descriptor system observer and a zonotopic estimator of the observer error bounds. The observer parameters are optimized...
La réalisation de mesures de bruit via un smartphone, afin de produire des cartes de bruit en mode participatif, a donné lieu à plusieurs expérimentations ces dernières années. Cette technique semble effectivement un moyen intéressant, d'une part, pour produire une très grande quantité de données acoustiques sur un territoire très vaste, et d'autre...
This paper describes a scale modelling method to measure the acoustic performance of a nearly-enclosed barrier and the corresponding predictions using an existing 2.5-D Boundary Element Method (BEM) program. Preliminary investigation results show the deterioration in performance of a nearly-enclosed barrier due to resonance effects that led to high...
In this paper, we propose to perform time-delay estimation (TDE) of coherent GPR signals by taking into accout the radar pulse and noise pattern. The proposed method can process raw GPR data without whitening procedure and decorrelate coherent signals properly with a Hankel matrix which contains the signal eigenvector, the radar pulse and the noise...
Au cours de ces 20 dernières années, une augmentation de la gêne due au bruit des avions est observée chez les riverains des aéroports. Afin de comprendre la cause de cette augmentation qui s'inscrit dans une période où la technologie est de plus en plus performante pour réduire les bruits émis par les avions, l'étude DEBATS a comparé la relation e...
