Hepworth Acoustics to produce world's largest noise map

摘要

Hepworth Acoustics has been appointed by Defra to produce the world's largest noise map. The map will cover urban areas, major roads and major railways across the whole of England. Hepworth Acoustics will collaborate on the project with long time partners Acustica,DARH2 and Stapelfeldt. The project requires the calculation of noise levels for 24,000 km of major roads, 5,000 km of major railways and 65 urban areas. Using input data provided by Extrium, the calculated levels will be used to fulfil England's requirements for strategic noise mapping of roads and railways under the second round of the EU's Environmental Noise Directive.
