Abstract
AbstractEnvironmental Noise Contouring is used by the military to mitigate noise generated by training missions. More accurate noise prediction models are being developed to improve noise contouring. These models can be used for planning by the military and local governments to ensure the health and welfare of troops and people in surrounding communities. Current noise modeling software used by the Army does not account for the varying terrain surrounding airstrips and weapons ranges. New noise models will utilize digital data, such as topography and vegetation, to create more accurate noise contours that will be displayed with Geographic Information Systems. By using GIS to its fullest potential, military installations will be able to maximize property use and minimize noise impacts to surrounding communities.
