Estimating variation in community noise due to variation in aircraft operations

Abstract

Notwithstanding considerable effort by many researchers world-wide, the estimation of community
noise due to changes in aircraft fleets and operations remains subject to considerable uncertainty.
This paper describes a new taxonomical architecture for aircraft noise prediction models that can
be adapted to differing levels of input data and required outputs. Sound levels on the ground are
estimated at base level using a custom noise prediction tool. The aim then is to determine variations on
this base level depending upon differences in known input data whilst by-passing the full complexity of
engineering models for which the necessary inputs can often only be assumed or are not even available
for particular cases. The architecture is well-adapted for estimating incremental change associated
with single input variables, such as approach glide slope angle, or flight track concentration associated
with performance based radio navigation. The research is being carried out as part of a wider effort
to better understand environmental and economic interdependencies, for which taxonomical models
can be highly beneficial.
