Acustica e Materiali per la Protezione Ambientale e la Sicurezza
Our current research projects concern:
Road traffic noise
A framework agreement with Ecopneus (the non-profit company for the tracking, collection, processing and final destination of end-of-life tyres) is on going for research activities in:
-
Study of the acoustic performance of road surfaces;
-
Development of new methodology and evaluation of the measurements’ results;
-
Assessment of the weather effects and all the other parameters influencing the CPX and SPB measurements;
-
Correlation between the measurements performed in the mobile laboratory and the roadside ones;
-
New methods for the evaluation of the induced vibrations by vehicle traffic on different surfaces.

Building acoustics
Research activities for the acoustic characteriztion of schools interior enviroments are in progress, besides with the setting up of a new indicator for presenting the results to the public. Specific activities focus on the determination of the spatial distribution along the surfaces of vibration levels induced by external noise. The aim is the identification of the best design solutions for improving the acoustic performance and the acoustic comfort inside the school, which has a well known effects on learning and teaching.
