Supporting Environmental Protection Through Acoustic Noise Mapping (Mazowieckie Region, Poland)

Overview

GISonLine participated in the project to develop acoustic noise maps for the Mazowieckie region of Poland and the Directorate of National Roads & Motorways.  The project included providing geospatial support for key environmental protection and noise abatement programs. The project focus was centered on collecting and organizing data from multiple disparate sources that provide authoritative information in support of creating environmental mapping output and spatial analysis.

The Impact

Through the data collection efforts involving multiple government offices, digitization of analog materials, and migration of existing registration data, GISonLine was able to create a comprehensive picture and geospatial database of the noise impact caused by vehicle traffic was established for the region.

The Outcome

GISonLine successfully performed and delivered spatial analysis reports and thematic maps covering an area of ​​over a million kilometers of roadways within the Mazowieckie region. Deliverables under this project included:

• Preparation of over 9,000 thematic maps for national environmental monitoring
• Conducting spatial analysis & acoustic calculations of noise impact on the environment
• Development of a formalized data model
• Generation of reports for the European Commission
