The development of a practical framework for strategic noise mapping

Applied Acoustics, 2009
There currently exist a number of commercial tools which may be used to develop strategic noise maps in an effort to satisfy the requirements of EU Directive 2002/49/EC. However, these tools may not be readily available to local authorities with limited resources.

Main results of strategic noise maps and action plans in Navarre (Spain)

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2012
According to Directive 2002/49, strategic noise maps and their correspondent action plans were carried out in the Autonomous Community of Navarre, Spain. Six strategic noise maps were produced for 120 km of major roads as well as a strategic noise map for the Agglomeration of the Region of Pamplona (ARP) with a population of 280,199 inhabitants.

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

From environmental noise abatement to soundscape creation through strategic noise mapping in medium urban agglomerations in South Europe

Science of The Total Environment, 2014
In the framework of the European Directive 2002-49-EU, the medium sized cities of Volos and Larissa in central Greece recently completed (2012) their strategic noise maps and relevant action plans that define the main strategies to reduce noise exposure of residents and introduce and preserve "quite zones".

THE MILAN AGGLOMERATION STRATEGIC NOISE MAP

8th European Conference on Noise Control 2009, 2008
The aim of this paper is to describe the procedure used for the Milan agglomeration Strategic Noise Mapping, as defined by Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC). City of Milan is a complex case study because of the presence of a plurality of sources: road traffic, railway traffic (also tram traffic) and aircraft noise (Linate airport).

Strategic noise mapping in slovak republic

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
In the EU there is an ongoing process of strategic noise mapping and action planning. The goal is to determine the noise produced by the main noise sources - road, rail and air transport and industrial facilities and the exposure caused by them in densely populated agglomerations.

Noise Propagation Calculation Service in Urban Traffic Strategic Noise Mapping

Advanced Materials Research, 2011
Excessive traffic noise is a major environmental complaint in residential areas. This paper investigates a SOA based hierarchical services structure for urban traffic strategic noise mapping. Service Oriented Computing Environment (SORCER) is employed to build a highly flexible distributed platform.
