Internet and mobile technologies for a public role in noise surveying (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Mydlarz, C., Drumm, I., & Cox, T. (2008, June). Internet and mobile technologies for a public role in noise surveying. Poster presented at Paris ASA Conference, Paris, France

The traditional method of noise surveying is to use trained professionals to go to a specific site to measure and assess noise levels using dedicated and expensive equipment. This project aims to enfranchise the public by providing them with the oppo... Read More about Internet and mobile technologies for a public role in noise surveying.
