[GRASSLIST:8730] Asking for information on environmental noise modeling

GRASS GRASS user
1

Hi,

I've read article Environmental noise modeling within an open source GIS by l.Biagi, M.A.Brovelli and M.Scuratti. This open source GIS means Grass. In this article writers descibe a model for noise propagation analysis. Two Grass commands are also mentioned, v.noise.buffer and r.noise. Writers also mention some goals of their future development with this model.

This article can be found from http://geomatica.como.polimi.it/workbooks/n2/list.php and it is related into this project http://www.comune.modena.it/isola/inglese/index.html
The workbook where this article belongs dates back to autumn 2001.

Questions:

1) Does somebody have source code for these modules ? If yes, could You send them to me ?

2) Does somebody know did there happen any progress after this paper was written ? and if yes, where I could find information.

3) Does anybody know good sources, both software :wink: and information, into this topic ?

4) Is there any other interested persons into noise modelling ?

Any relevant information relating into noise analysis and GRASS would be useful. Thanks in advance.

Best regards from noisy Finland,
Kari Salovaara

try digging into the mailing list archives; authors' names are good

also look at r.los, r.cva, r.cost, r.mapcalc for homebrew modelling.
