Meta-modeling for urban noise mapping
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020 Urban noise mapping generally consists of simulating the emission and attenuation of noise in an area by following rules such as common noise assessment methods. The computational cost makes these models unsuitable for applications such as uncertainty quantification, where thousands of simulations may be required.
