Predictor Analyst Type 7813

Software for organisation, accumulation, viewing, analysis and publication of noise maps, featuring advanced functionality similar to a Geographic Information System (GIS). It also calculates population noise exposure and analyses other environmental parameters such as odour and air quality. 
 
The results are structured per period (day, evening, night) and per type of noise (industry, urban road traffic, suburban road traffic, railroad traffic, shipping and aviation).

Uses
• Drawing and analysing noise maps
• Powerful presentation and analysis tool for the environmental specialist
• Environmental aspects including odour and air quality
• Publishing noise maps on the internet
• Viewing GIS maps while allowing  the noise specialist to stay in control of interpolation and accumulation
• European Noise Directive (END) 2002/49/EC Strategic Noise Maps and Action Plans

Features
• Noise map creation and analysis
• Accumulation and difference maps
• User-friendly and simple to use
• Interpolation and accumulation of noise data
• Import results from any calculation software like Predictor, LimA, STACKS, ArcGIS and MapInfo
• Interpolation of contours and counting the number of noise exposure (people/dwellings)
• Export option to HTML for publication noise maps on the internet
Predictor Analyst Type 7813
Description
 
Features advanced GIS-like functionality for organisation, accumulation, viewing, analysis and publication of noise maps. Results in x,y,z format can be read from various prediction software packages, such as Brüel & Kjær’s Predictor-LimA Software Suite Type 7810. The results are structured per period (day, evening, night) and per type of noise (industry, urban road traffic, suburban road traffic, railroad traffic, shipping and aviation). 
 
Based on a fast triangulation algorithm, colour-filled contours can be shown per individual type of noise or accumulated. In this way the combined result of several noise types can be shown. It is also possible to use Predictor Analyst to analyse the number of exposed people and dwellings, and determine the area exposed to noise. Other environmental parameters such as odour and air quality can also be analysed.


Spatial analysis without learning or buying GIS
 
Analyse noise result data and create noise maps for web publishing without the need for a Geographic Information System (GIS). This enables the noise specialist to perform advanced GIS work and retain control of the way the results are used.
 
Consequently, the noise specialist stays in control of the accuracy of the interpolation, the maps created, and the accumulation process.
