New Methods and Approaches to Acoustic Monitoring and Noise Mapping of Urban Territories and Experience of it Approbation in Conditions of Samara Region of Russia

For the time being, acoustic impact to human inhabited areas has significantly increased. Imported methods of urban noise reduction are acoustic monitoring and noise mapping of urban territories. Important measures which allow for reductions of negative noise impact are acoustic monitoring and noise mapping of urban territories. The peculiarities and negative features of existing methods of monitoring of acoustic pollution have been considered. New methods of monitoring, using automated systems are suggested, allowing the undertaking of continuous measurements of noise, and of the other parameters in the environment. A new approach to noise mapping is suggested. New approaches to monitoring of acoustic pollution are approbated in conditions of the urban territory of Samara region of Russia. By using the results of noise measurements and developing a program provision, noise maps of the urban territory of Samara region have been developed.
