3D TREE MODELLING FOR LESS NOISE

Announcing our latest publication, “Improving Traffic-noise-mitigation Strategies with LiDAR-based 3D Tree-canopy Analysis,” in Geomatics and Environmental Engineering journal (Vol. 18, No. 3, 2024)! This groundbreaking study explores how trees can be our green heroes, reducing traffic noise naturally.

Our team used cutting-edge LiDAR technology to create 3D models of tree canopies. We analyzed how trees’ leaves and structures absorb traffic noise.

We developed a new equation to measure noise reduction, integrating it with existing models. Our findings show that trees can reduce traffic noise by 1 to 3 dB(A).

LiDAR-based 3D visualizations provide accurate data for better urban planning. Tree belts and dense planting schemes are particularly effective in noise mitigation.

Our discoveries pave the way for greener, quieter urban spaces. Imagine strolling down a city street with less noise and more peace—thanks to thoughtful tree planting!
