The GTM publishes a joint work with the Università degli Studi di Milano Bicocca in the framework of the DYNAMAP project

Applied Acoustics, a magazine published by Elsevier, published last March 20th the work entitled "Anomalous Events Removal for Automated Traffic Noise Maps Generation", of the GTM together with the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the Universitá degli Studi di Milano Bicocca. The research is part of the LIFE DYNAMAP project, of which La Salle and Bicocca are partners. The project aims to automate the generation of traffic noise maps in urban and suburban environments. The published work focuses on the comparison between the manual method and the automatic method (Anomalous Noise Event Detector - ANED) of discarding anomalous acoustic elements in the computation of the equivalent level of noise measured using an acoustic sensor. Historically, the validation of acoustic measurements has been carried out manually, with the observation of the equivalent level and the spectrum of the signals obtained; ANED aims to automate the process, so that it is applicable to continuous measurements and all sensors in a wireless network of acoustic sensors.
