Abstract
In the paper, a noise map service designated for the user interested in
environmental noise is presented. Noise prediction algorithm and source
model, developed for creating acoustic maps, are working in the cloud
computing environment. In the study, issues related to the noise modelling
of sound propagation in urban spaces are discussed with a particular focus
on traffic noise. Examples of results obtained through a web application
created for that purpose are shown. In addition, these are compared to
results obtained from the commercial software simulations based on two
road noise prediction models. Moreover, the computing performance of the
developed application is investigated and analyzed. In the paper, a
flowchart simulating the operation of the noise web-based service is
presented showing that the created application is easy to use even for
people with little experience in computer technology.
