Dynamic Noise Map based on permanent monitoring network and street categorization

摘要

A Dynamic Noise Map of the city of Badajoz has been developed from measurements of a permanent monitoring network, with more than 17 measuring stations. In addition to the measurements of the monitoring network, 150 short-term measures and various field campaigns have been carried out to study the different noise sources. The Dynamic Noise Map of Badajoz considers as noise sources: road and rail traffic, leisure noise and commercial and pedestrian sources. To ease the modelling of road traffic noise, an exhaustive road categorization has been carried out. However, leisure, commercial and pedestrian zones have been characterized based on noise measurements gathered over more than one year and extensive knowledge of the area that facilitates the characterization and modelling of complex noise sources. The Dynamic Noise Map is complementary to a Strategic Noise Map that has been validated by experimental measurements, being able to determine its accuracy.
