Existing sound measuring equipment are mostly designed for indoor use, and those of outdoor are costly and demands human involvement multiple times. This study proposes the concept of a compact and cheap sensor and GIS-based system that runs algorithms of sound distribution and visualizes interpolated and extrapolated data as heatmaps in an interactive map. According to the concept, the system consists of several noise measuring devises wirelessly connected to a data collector that transmits the measurement data real-time through internet to a server, where the data is analyzed and visualized. The integrated into GIS algorithms are designed to identify the sound sources and locations where the sound level exceeded its daytime or nighttime standard limits. The implementation of proposed concept may make noise issues related to construction activities more transparent.
The introduction of modern high-quality, environmentally friendly materials, products and structures in the field of construction will significantly reduce the consumption of materials and energy consumption of construction facilities and significantly increase the productivity of the construction sector. One of the modern directions of construction is the production of first-class, resource-saving building materials, products and structures, as well as the design and construction of buildings that combine the convenience of planning solutions, environmental friendliness and energy efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
