Current State-of-the-Art and New Directions in Strategic Environmental Noise Mapping
Current Pollution Reports, 2020Environmental 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

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".

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.

Evaluating noise abatement measures using strategic noise maps
2006Noise annoyance due to transportation is widespread in industrialized countries and in urban areas in the developing countries. The European Noise Directive (END) requires an assessment of the noise situation as well as the formulation of action plans for the reduction of the number of people harmfully affected by environmental noise.

Soundscapes, social media, and big data: The next step in strategic noise mapping
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017The current state-of-the art in noise assessment involves the development of a strategic noise map to identify areas with excessive noise levels, expressed in terms of a single time-averaged noise indicator. While noise maps yield important information regarding sound pressure levels in a particular space, they do not give any representation of the ...

With the proclamation of the Directive on Environmental Noise (2002/49), the process of noise mapping and action planning has begun around Europe. Large scale wide area noise modelling requires an extensive range of data inputs. The requirements for these inputs are driven by several factors, including the noise calculation methodologies, noise mapping

A Loosely-Coupled Platform for Urban Traffic Strategic Noise Mapping
2012Excessive traffic noise is a major environmental complaint in residential areas. This paper investigates an SOA based loosely-coupled platform for urban traffic strategic noise mapping. Service-Oriented Computing Environment (SORCER) is employed to build the highly flexible distributed platform.

Electric vehicles are fast becoming a reality and are being heralded as a real alternative to the highly polluting internal combustion engine fleet. Often electric vehicles are reported as being silent vehicles and may significantly reduce a population’s exposure to environmental noise.

With the proclamation of the Directive on Environmental Noise (2002/49), the process of noise mapping and action planning has begun around Europe. As the development of strategic noise maps is arguably a new experience for many end-users, the first round of noise mapping could potentially lead to uncertainties within many aspects of the process.

Strategic mapping of the ambient noise produced by road traffic, accordingly to european regulations
2008 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics, 2008The changes registered worldwide with respect to the ambient quality determined people to consider, a primal objective, the protection and improvement of environmental conditions. The 2002/49/EC Directive, adopted by the European Parliament and European Union Council on 29 June 2002, settles the defining objectives of environment protection against ...
