#NOISE MAPPING USING ARCGIS SOFTWARE#

A noise map was generated with ArcGIS 10.5 based on the spatial distribution. A detailed method used for assessing and mapping noise pollution levels in Ota metropolis, Nigeria using ArcGIS 10.5 Software is presented in this paper. SMT provides a user-friendly approach to produce sound level predictions across variable landscapes, with applications for environmental, behavioral, population, and community ecology studies and for planning and management of human land use and infrastructure. maps using Arc-GIS 10.5 to reveal the spatial patterns of noise exposure. Model results can be weighted to represent variable acoustic sensitivity or compared to ambient sound pressure levels. SMT produces spatially-explicit predictions of sound pressure levels from one or more sound sources, facilitating the assessment of noise effects from sources such as motorized recreation, energy development, and road traffic. As a case study, the noise calculator was used to build both large noise maps for Skne region in south of Sweden and detailed noise maps for smaller areas in the city of Lund.

SMT includes three sound propagation models: an updated version of SPreAD-GIS, based on the System for Prediction of Acoustic Detectability model NMSIMGIS, a GIS implementation of the Noise Model Simulation (NMSim) algorithms and an implementation of an international outdoor sound propagation standard, ISO 9613вЂ“2. Our sitemap includes quick links to popular pages, GIS industry solutions, products, events, support and services, special programs, publications, newsroom, partner. The noise calculator is based on the noise model described in Nordic prediction method for road traffic noise. We introduce the open-source Sound Mapping Tools (SMT, implemented in ArcGIS with the Spatial Analyst extension) for use in terrestrial outdoor sound propagation modeling.
