Current State-of-the-Art and New Directions in Strategic Environmental Noise Mapping

Current Pollution Reports, 2020
Environmental noise mapping has the potential to act as a powerful resource for policymakers as a decision support tool for the mitigation of the negative effects of environmental noise pollution and its impact on public health. The aim of this paper is to review current state-of-the-art developments in how the strategic noise mapping (SNM) process has

The European Environmental Noise Directive in Germany

INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings
With the Environmental Noise Directive, the member states of the European Union have a common approach to mapping and reducing environmental noise. Noise exposure is determined in agglomerations and around major transport infrastructures. Noise action plans specify measures to reduce noise.

Assessment of environmental noise due to aircraft operation at the Athens International Airport according to the 2002/49/EC Directive and the new Greek national legislation

Applied Acoustics, 2014
Abstract Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” (A.I.A.) is one of the most modern, functional and safest airports in the world and constitutes the largest hub of air travel in south eastern Europe. Environmental noise from aircraft movements at the airport is a crucial environmental factor of urban environment and quality of life ...

Responding to the Environmental Noise Directive by demonstrating the benefits of rail grinding on the Great Britain’s* railway network

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 2013
This paper investigates a significant reduction in environmental noise attributable to changes in the Network Rail grinding strategy employed within GB. It also considers how these findings could inform noise mapping and action plans required by the Environmental Noise Directive (END).

Evaluation of barrier performance by direct environmental noise simulation

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012
After a city has experienced rapid urbanization, it is usually left with many pollution problems (e.g. air, noise, etc.) that hinder its further sustainable growth. Worsen by the rapid increase in the demands of land transportation for high population mobility; the traffic noise inevitably becomes a serious environmental problem.

Directivity as a discriminant in monitoring of air-acoustic environmental noise

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974
Directivity is useful in the automatic monitoring of air-acoustic environmental noise because discrimination is possible not only between ground and airborne sources, but between different ground sources as wall. The experimental program compared omnidirectionals, gradients, cardioids, donuts, cardonuts, and second-order donuts as vertical ...

The environmental noise directive as a catalyst for change in noise policy

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012
The Environmental Noise Directive entered into EU legislation in 2002, and subsequently into the national legislation within the 27 Member States. The Directive sets out a strategic framework for a consistent approach to the management of environmental noise within the EC through a cycle of strategic noise mapping, public consultation and action ...

Environmental Noise Directive - results of noise mapping in Germany

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
The Environmental Noise Directive intends the development of a concept to avoid, prevent or reduce on a prioritised basis the harmful effects, including annoyance, due to exposure to environmental noise and to inform the public on environmental noise and its effects.

ACCELEROMETER INTENSITY VECTOR SENSOR NETWORK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE MONITORING WITH SOURCE DIRECTION AND LOCATION

Inter-Noise 2022, 2023
AIVS (Accelerometer-based Intensity Vector Sensors, /āvs/) represent a new way to measure 3-d sound and are designed to integrate into existing noise monitoring solutions. Standard microphones measure sound pressure, which cannot alone deduce the direction of sound propagation.

Umgebungslärmrichtlinie in Schleswig-Holstein/Environmental Noise Directive in Schleswig-Holstein

Lärmbekämpfung, 2019
Die dritte Runde der Umgebungslärmrichtlinie 2002/49/EG [1] wird mit der Lärmkartierung 2017 und der aktuellen, in Schleswig-Holstein (SH) noch nicht vollständig abgeschlossenen Aufstellung der Lärmaktionspläne umgesetzt. Die Zuständigkeit für die Ausarbeitung der Lärmkarten und für die Aufstellung der Aktionspläne liegt in SH gemäß § 47 e Bundes ...
