Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
ArcGIS is a series of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) programs and tools developed by the Environmental Science Reaserch Institue (ESRI). ArcGIS has many tools built in, however, no tools to extimate construction noise levels for either point sources or for a project construction footprint. PYTHON is a programming language that is becoming the preferred programming language for ESRI programs. Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc. has modified the buffer tool in ArcGIS to estimate noise levels from a variety of construction equipment. The tool allows the user to choose what typical construction equipment will be used on their project. The tool then creates a noise contour showing what noise levels could be expected at certain distances from the project area or point source. The tool is useful for estimating construction noise at various distances to sensitive receptors. The tool also helps in graphics creation to aid in summarizing noise impacts. Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc. has used this tool on transportation projects but it is applicable to other projects as well. |
