A review and comparative analysis of European priority indices for noise action plans
Science of The Total Environment, 2015The European Union has provided in recent years (and is going to update) several tools to harmonise noise mapping methodologies through directives and guidelines. Unfortunately the same efforts have not been put in the harmonisation of approaches for Noise Action Plans, the effective instruments to manage noise impacts.

Assessment of Large-Scale Action Plans to Reduce External Background Noise in School Buildings
Building Acoustics, 2004In this paper the authors report on a simplified procedure, developed in a Geographical Information System (GIS) environment, for the localization of school buildings characterized by high indoor background noise levels due to the outside noise sources.

From strategic noise maps to action plan: Perspective of Spanish main roads
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008The Direccion General de Carreteras of the Spanish Ministry of Transport is finishing the process of Strategic Noise Mapping of Spanish major roads (EGRA). The whole National road network that has been noise mapped for the first END has a length of 6.400 km round.

Interactive and Integrated Noise Models for Interactive Action Planning
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference ProceedingsNoise pollution is a critical issue in urban environments, caused both by mobility and industry. The European Noise Directive addresses this issue, requiring the preparation and publication of strategic noise maps and management action plans every five years.

Action plans and municipal noise reduction plans in Portugal
2007In 2006, following the European Directive 2002/49/CE, the Portuguese government adjusted its legal framework regarding noise, issuing the decree-law no. 146/2006, introducing a new noise indicator (Lden) and period (evening). These two main changes implied the revision of the Portuguese Noise Code and, in January 2007, was approved the third Portuguese

Abstract In this paper the results of noise maps counted for cars and trams, in 10 areas in the city of Poznan, are analyzed in the context of possible action plans. These results are compared with the information from surveys, involving 794 participants, performed at the same 10 areas.

Decision support system for action planning in the framework of the European Noise Directive
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008The European Noise Directive (END) requires assessment of noise exposures as well as the formulation ofAction Plans for the reduction of the number of people harmfully affected by environmental noise. TNO isdeveloping a decision support system for noise mitigating measures. The proof of concept of such a system forroad noise is presented here.

Social choice functions: A tool for ranking variables involved in action plans against road noise
Journal of Environmental Management, 2016Traffic noise is gaining importance in planning and operation of roads in developing countries, and particularly in Europe and Latin America. Many variables with different degrees of importance influence the perception of noise from roads. Thus, the problem of prioritizing road stretches for action against such noise is an important issue in ...
