COMMUNITY-AIRCRAFT NOISE EXPOSURE MODELING WITH THE NOISEMAP COMPUTER PROGRAM

A description is given of the NOISEMAP computer program which is concerned with an evaluation of the noise effects of Air Force operations on the environment. It was found that an algorithm could be devised for the calculation of the noise exposure of an arbitrary flight track. Various stages in the development of the NOISEMAP computer program are discussed. The program produces contour maps as output, on the basis of input data which represent the characteristics of the airfield and its operations.
