In context of increasing traffic noise in urban India, the objective of the research study is to assess noise due to heterogeneous traffic conditions and the impact of honking on it. Traffic volume, noise levels, honking, road geometry and vehicular speed were measured on national highway, major and minor roads in Nagpur, India. Initial study showed lack of correlation between traffic volume and equivalent noise due to some factors, later identified as honking, road geometry and vehicular speed. Further, frequency analysis of traffic noise showed that honking contributed an additional 2 to 5 dB (A) noise, which is quite significant. Vehicular speed was also found to increase traffic noise. Statistical method of analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirms that frequent honking (p < 0.01) and vehicular speed (p < 0.05) have substantial impact on traffic noise apart from traffic volume and type of road. The study suggests that honking must also be a component in traffic noise assessment and to identify and monitor “No Honking” zones in urban agglomerations.

Flooding poses a significant threat as a prevalent natural disaster. To mitigate its impact, identifying flood-prone areas through susceptibility mapping is essential for effective flood risk management. This study conducted flood susceptibility mapping (FSM) in Chandrapur district, Maharashtra, India, using geographic information system (GIS)-based frequency ratio (FR) and Shannon’s entropy index (SEI) models. Seven flood-contributing factors were considered, and historical flood data were utilized for model training and testing. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC) metric. The AUC values of 0.982 for the SEI model and 0.966 for the FR model in the test dataset underscore the robust performance of both models. The results revealed that 5.4% and 8.1% (FR model) and 3.8% and 7.6% (SEI model) of the study area face very high and high risks of flooding, respectively. Comparative analysis indicated the superiority of the SEI model. The key limitations of the models are discussed. This study attempted to simplify the process for the easy and straightforward implementation of FR and SEI statistical flood susceptibility models along with key insights into the flood vulnerability of the study region.

The objective of this study is to develop a traffic noise model under diverse traffic conditions in metropolitan cities. The model has been developed to calculate equivalent traffic noise based on four input variables i.e. equivalent traffic flow (Q e ), equivalent vehicle speed (S e ) and distance (d) and honking (h). The traffic data is collected and statistically analyzed in three different cases for 15-min during morning and evening rush hours. Case I represents congested traffic where equivalent vehicle speed is 30 km/h and case III represents calm traffic where no honking is recorded. The noise model showed better results than earlier developed noise model for Indian traffic conditions. A comparative assessment between present and earlier developed noise model has also been presented in the study. The model is validated with measured noise levels and the correlation coefficients between measured and predicted noise levels were found to be 0.75, 0.83 and 0.86 for case I, II and III respectively. The noise model performs reasonably well under different traffic conditions and could be implemented for traffic noise prediction at other region as well.
