New Model Maps Environmental Noise Across Delhi Using Traffic and Geographic Data
A new study by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has developed an integrated land use regression model combining geographical and real-time traffic data to map environmental noise in Delhi. The model accounts for factors like vehicle counts, speeds, and honking, addressing challenges posed by Delhi's mixed urban landscape where residential, commercial, and institutional areas coexist. This approach aims to provide more accurate noise predictions and assist authorities in planning targeted noise control measures across the city.
