Noise Source Predominance Map: a new representation for strategic noise maps
Noise Mapping, 2022 Environmental noise prevention starts from strategic noise maps of main transport infrastructures and agglomerations. Graduated colors are representative of the average noise levels produced in space by each individual source, or the by the overall sum ...

Dynamic noise mapping: A map-based interpolation between noise measurements with high temporal resolution [PDF]
Applied Acoustics, 2016 Abstract Since the introduction of the Environmental Noise Directive, strategic noise mapping has been used as a tool for noise policy in many European countries. Although these strategic noise maps have their merits, they also have some shortcomings: accuracy in predicted noise levels in shielded or quiet areas is not very high, the maps fail to ...

Classification of Noise Sources for Port Area Noise Mapping [PDF]
Environments, 2021 Maritime transportation is recognized to have advantages in terms of environmental impact compared to other forms of transportation. However, an increment in traffic volumes will also produce an increase in noise emissions in the surroundings for a greener source, as ports are frequently surrounded by urban areas.

From strategic noise maps to receiver-centric noise exposure sensitivity mapping
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 2022 Road traffic is a major source of environmental noise pollution in urban areas. While strategic noise maps are widely used to identify the critical areas and propose mitigation plans, more specific tools are needed to evaluate the impact from traffic noise such as overall population exposure or anticipated impact from specific vehicles in varying ...
