| Urban Noise Monitoring Facilities | |
| Lyon, 4 October 2004 | |
| This meeting was organised
by INCE/Europe in collaboration with CIDB and sponsored by Greater
Lyon Council, ACOUCITE and 01 dB. It was arranged with a view to highlighting
work that has been, and continues to be done, on the establishment
of URBAN NOISE MONITORING FACILITIES. The purpose is to support individuals and organisations working on the prediction and measurement of urban noise; which in turn will lead to improvements in the design of effective noise control measures. Greater Lyon is in the forefront of this activity and was the main reason for the city to host the event. Under the EU Noise Directive, European centres with populations in excess of 250,000 will have to evolve and operate a method of mapping noise levels within their boundaries. The inter-relation between software-based predictions and measurements is clearly a very important component of this. Delegates had an opportunity to talk with others in the field and to investigate the hardware and software available. The development of this approach in England, Spain, Germany, Greece and France was presented.. |
