A special focus is put on the color scale representing the noise pressure level as it is the major content in noise maps.
In experiments and studies we tested our hypotheses and come up with suggestions for improvement. To inform and consult the public strategic noise maps, action plans and relevant information about noise exposure, its effects and measures considered to. Keywords: noise mapping, road noise, RLS 90, interpolation. The Environmental Noise Directive requires strategic noise maps to be made available to the public. Therefore we conducted qualitative, quantitative and requirements analyses of noise maps used within Germany to evaluate what aspects have to be improved. This paper presents an evaluation of the German standard RLS 90 (Richtlinien fr den. Interviews with users showed that most maps used for public participation are not user-friendly.
The resulting maps are the basis for noise action planning and the communication of noise exposure to the general public. noise or excessive vibration limit in a certain area mappingbody means a noise-mapping or excessive vibration- mapping body as designated in Regulation 22 of these Regulations noise means any undesirable sound that is intrins ically objectionable or that may cause adverse effects on human health or the environment. We aim at improving the user-friendliness of strategic noise maps according to the EU directive 2002/49/EC that stipulates the drawing up of noise maps for specified areas every five years. : European Aviation: environmental report points to action to address sustainability and health challenges. Analysis and Improvement of the User-Friendliness of Strategic Noise Maps for Public Participation (PhD project)
