Using 3D city model platform for the analysis of Andorra’s Soundscape
(Proceedings of the 23rd International Congress on Acoustics, Aachen, 9 to 13 September 2019, 2019-09)
In a SmartCities world, with the citizen in the center of all the decisions, the measurement of environmental
noise cannot be limited to provide an equivalent level captured over a certain time in a ...
Leveraging Urban Sounds: A Commodity Multi-Microphone Hardware Approach for Sound Recognition
(MDPI, 2019-03-08)
City noise and sound are measured and processed with the purpose of drawing appropriate government legislation and regulations, ultimately aimed at contributing to a healthier environment for humans. ...
Adapting an Anomalous Noise Events Detectorfor Real-Life Operation in the Rome SuburbanPilot Area of the DYNAMAP’s Project
(Euronoise2018 Proceedings, 2018-05-27)
The DYNAMAP project is aimed at implementing a dynamic noise mapping system able to determine the acoustic impact of road infrastructures in real-time, encouraged by the European Noise Directive 2002/49/EC. ...
Anomalous Noise Events Considerations for the Computation of Road Traffic Noise Levels: The Dynamap's Milan Case Study
(24th International Congress on Sound and Vibration 2017, 2017-07-23)
Dynamic noise maps are computed to represent the noise levels generated by road traffic in realtime to determine the population exposure to environmental noise. To this aim, a network ofacoustic ...
Automated Audio Data Monitoring for a Social Robot in Ambient Assisted Living Environments
(OmniaScience, 2016-11-04)
Human life expectancy has steadily grown over the last century, which has driven governments and institutions to increase the efforts on caring about the eldest segment of the population. Although this ...
Detecting Anomalous Noise Events on Low-Capacity Acoustic Sensor in Dynamic Road Traffic Noise Mapping
(4th International Electronic Conference on Sensors and Applications, 2017-11-13)
One of the main aspects affecting the life of people living in urban and suburban areas is their continued exposure to high road traffic noise (RTN) levels, traditionally measured by specialists working ...
Performance Analysis of the Acoustic Event Detector in the DYNAMAP’s Rome suburban area
(Proceedings of the 23rd International Congress on Acoustics, Aachen, 9 to 13 September 2019, 2019-09)
Environmental noise is increasing year after year and, besides annoyance, it causes harmful health effects on
people according to last 2018 WHO report. The Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC (END) ...
Survey of Environmental Noise in the Port of Barcelona
(Euronoise 2018 Proceedings, 2018-05-24)
Ports and harbours are logistic nodes characterized by noisy operations. Noise pollution analysis iscomplicated, because several types of noise usually can occur in the same area: ferries, cruises, ...
Construction and characterization of an omnidirectional parametric loudspeaker consisting of ultrasound transducers set on sphere
(Novem 2018, 2018)
Standard omnidirectional sound sources typically consist of conventional loudspeakers arranged in a dodecahedral configuration. For such devices, a microphone in a circular trajectory around the source ...
Preliminary Results of DYNAMAP Noise Mapping Operations
(47th International Congress and Exposition on Noise Control Engineering. INTER·NOISE 2018, 2018-08-26)
DYNAMAP, a European Life project, aims at developing a dynamical acoustic map of large urban areassuch as the city of Milan based on a limited number of noise monitoring stations. Generally, traffic ...
