Abstract |
|
In this report a new approach for the assessment of noise pollution is investigated involving the general public. The goal of this idea is to turn GPS-equipped mobile phones into noise sensors that enable citizens to measure their personal exposure to noise in their everyday environment. The goal is to investigate how participative and people-centric data collection can be used to create a low-cost, open platform to measure, annotate and localize noise pollution, as it is perceived by the citizens themselves.Thus each user can contribute by sharing their geo-localized measurements and further personal annotation to produce a collective noise map. This report also highlights the advantages of using GPS equipped mobile phones monitoring noise pollution over the process of conventional noise monitoring. |
