Meet the Strategic Noise Mapping Challenge

In preparation for the second round of strategic noise mapping in connection with the European Union’s Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC, we invite you to join our new seminar on Strategic Noise Mapping Good Practice.

Description

This 2-day course introduces you to good practice in strategic noise mapping. The course is based around 2 documents:

• European Commission’s Working Group on the Assessment of Exposure to Noise "Good practice guide on strategic noise mapping”
• the Euronoise 2009 invited paper on “Good Practice in the Use of Noise Mapping Software” produced by the lecturers

The in-depth knowledge of the lecturers gives you a unique opportunity of getting insight and up to date experience in the process involved, good practice and tools available and in-depth information on the latest developments. The course will have a high focus on practical hands-on based around Predictor 7810 and Lima 7812, supported by theoretical lectures and case studies. There will also be time to discuss individual issues.

Objectives

• To give good practice on strategic noise mapping, thus placing attendees in a better position to efficiently meet project deadlines and budgets
• To improve your use of noise calculation software through knowledge of standards, input data requirements and software calculation settings
• To give you hand-on experience
• To share experience about how others map noise including good practices and hints & tips
