Noise conditions for approval of Melbourne’s third runway. The recent approval of the construction of Melbourne’s third runway came with several conditions most of which related to noise. One major focus was on noise sharing which does not solve the problem. This is why our Noizend Shields being developed to reduce low-frequency noise entering homes is so important. Here are the conditions imposed by the Hon. Catherine King MP:- “Throughout my consideration of this proposal, the needs of the local community have been front of mind. That is why I have imposed certain conditions on Melbourne Airport in order for the third runway to proceed. These represent the most comprehensive set of conditions for a project of this type, including: Melbourne Airport providing a legally-enforceable commitment to restore the length of the east-west runway to maximise the opportunities for noise sharing; Design and implementation of a noise sharing and airspace plan that prioritises sharing of aircraft noise between affected areas; Implementation of a noise amelioration program to communities most impacted; And conducting a community health study into the impacts of noise before and after the establishment of the third runway – recording baseline data in the lead up to and for the first 20 years of the operation of the third runway. My decision to require that the airport maintain sufficient capacity on the existing east-west runway is to support effective noise sharing at Melbourne Airport, so that no one community bears the brunt of the airport’s growth. The noise sharing plan will be developed by the airport, and in consultation with local communities, over the years to come.”

🚨 A Station Without Platform Barriers – A Disaster Waiting to Happen! 🚨 No platform screen doors? The result: passengers jumping onto tracks to cross platforms — creating chaos, delays, and life-threatening risks. ⚠️ Safety should never be optional. ⚙️ Barriers save lives, reduce delays, and ensure order. Isn’t it time we made safety a priority in every station design? 🚆 #RailwaySafety #PublicTransport #SmartMobility #UrbanSafety #SustainableTransport #RailwayInfrastructure #PlatformSafety

Increasing demand for development can lead to developments (residential, schools, hospitals etc.) that encroach on land near airports. This can lead to issues with noise pollution. The sound of aircraft taking off can exceed 120 decibels (dB). This is VERY loud, dBs are logarithmic, so if a lawn mower is 70dB then 120dB is 32 times as loud! Even if the noise is too far away to cause hearing damage (threshold 100dB over time is enough to do so) the annoyance caused by the noise can lead to complaints and business disruption. New plane tech has led to improvements in the amount of noise generated during takeoff and landing but there are other things that can be done in the built environment. Some of the ways WSP can help is explained in this attached article by our Principal acoustic engineer. #weareWSP

🚦 Traffic Lights vs. Human Body: A System in Crisis 🚦 Imagine if your heart worked like a typical city intersection—spending three times longer at rest than pumping blood. The result? A system in constant breakdown, akin to experiencing a heart attack twice a day, every day. Sounds absurd, right? Yet, this is how our urban traffic networks function. On average, each leg of a traffic intersection waits three times longer on red than it gets on green. This imbalance creates a ripple effect: - Morning peaks slow productivity. - Afternoon peaks drain energy. Congestion fuels stress and pollution, leaving cities and citizens stuck in a cycle of inefficiency. 🚀 The Future of Fair Flow It’s time to rethink traffic management. By redesigning intersections with smarter, more equitable timing systems, we can: Reduce waiting times. Improve fuel efficiency. Enhance the overall flow for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. At STC, we believe cities shouldn’t suffer from “traffic heart attacks.” Our solutions ensure a healthier, more synchronized urban movement—without sacrificing anyone’s time. Let’s build systems that work as seamlessly as the human body. Let’s move smarter. #TrafficManagement #SmartCities #Innovation #UrbanMobility #SustainableTransport

#EvacPaperAlert: Modeling the #evacuation behavior of subway pedestrians with the consideration of luggage abandonment under emergency scenarios Just published on #TransportationResearchPartE 🔗 Link: https://lnkd.in/dvGq3XpB 🚨 New research sheds light on the impact of abandoned luggage on subway evacuations! 🚨 This study used a comprehensive model to simulate pedestrian movement in subway stations, including those carrying luggage and those who abandon it during emergencies. 🧳🔥 🔑 Key findings: - Removing luggage from bottlenecks like stairs and escalators actually slows down evacuation! - The biggest problem is accumulated luggage creating blockages. 🚧 - The rate at which people carry and abandon luggage directly affects how big these blockages become. - When blockages are unavoidable, discarding luggage can actually help people evacuate faster. 🏃♀️🏃♂️ 🕯 This research highlights the importance of understanding how luggage impacts evacuation strategies 💡 Stay Connected: Don't miss out on any updates!

Safety is the most important part of roads. Especially at night the street lighting should provide clear visibility to not only to keep the traffic safe, but also to make pedestrians and cyclists visible from a distance. Thanks to our Multichannel System safe and environmentally friendly lighting can now be combined! 🌫️ When visibility is poor due to bad weather, the sensors can automatically dim the lighting to a warm-white light to improve visibility and to prevent glare. 🚶 Thanks to the variable lighting, which can distinguish two zones per driver, the main road and the pedestrian path can be illuminated separately to meet the needs of each user. To prevent the light from impacting the environment, the light sensor responds to ambient light from the sky to adjust the dimming level and colour temperature to suit the outside environment. This saves costs and energy while maintaining road safety. 💰🦺 Upgrade your road lighting system 👉 https://lnkd.in/dQx96c3k In the next issue of our LightingNEWS, you can get exclusive insights from the Product Managers behind this solution.
