Towards the Concept of Airport Noise Capacity
The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of airport noise capacity. According to the preliminary choice of a noise metric, a matrix providing elementary noise impacts for each type of flight operation at selected receptor points around an airport is considered. Acceptable maximum noise levels at a reduced set of strategic receptor points are also considered. Then is formulated the problem of dispatching in-bound and out-bound flights on different approach and departure routes such that for a given level of traffic, a global index of noise impact is minimized. This problem can be solved using classical combinatorial techniques such as branch and bound or dynamic programming, however, considering air traffic control operational constraints, a simplified version is proposed, resulting in a continuous linear programming problem of easy resolution. For a given composition of aircraft fleet, a capacity maximization problem is introduced for different increasing levels of in-bound and out-bound traffic until some route/runway capacity or maximum noise levels are reached and no more feasible solutions are available. The comparison of the maximum level of traffic with actual traffic at a given airport produces an estimation of practical remaining capacity with respect to noise, while the same comparison with the solution of the above problem with current traffic volumes produces an estimation of theoretical remaining capacity. The capacity estimation process can be then restarted with different composition of the operating aircraft fleet.
Noise Pollution around the Airport with Noise Exposure Forecasting Modeling
The operation of airports results in environmental impacts associated with high levels of different noise. These may have severe and negative effects on surrounding residents. Aircraft noise is a significant and critical component of the aviation global economic infrastructure. If there is to be growth in aviation, the environmental impacts of aviation must be mitigated. In this paper, a model for the noise pollution of IKIA has been calibrated with the use of noise forecasting software. The calculated model is based on operations and flight data recorded by the airport. The flight data include the type and number of aircrafts, number of runways, etc. which depend on day-time and night- time operations. The results of this model explain the land use of airport and finally explain some methods for decreasing the effects of noise pollution of airport like enforcement of appropriate environmental regulations on the airliners.
Modeling of noise pollution and estimated human exposure around İstanbul Atatürk Airport in Turkey
The Science of the total environment, 2014
The level of aircraft noise exposure around İstanbul Atatürk Airport was calculated according to the European Noise Directive. These calculations were based on the actual flight data for each flight in the year 2011. The study area was selected to cover of 25km radius centered on the Aerodrome Reference Point of the airport. The geographical data around İstanbul Atatürk Airport was used to prepare elevation, residential building, auxiliary building, hospital and school layers in SoundPlan software. It was found that 1.2% of the land area of İstanbul City exceeds the threshold of 55dB(A) during daytime. However, when the exceedance of threshold of 65dB(A)is investigated, the affected area is found quite small (0.2% of land area of city). About 0.3% of the land area of İstanbul City has noise levels exceeding 55dB(A) during night-time. Our results show that about 4% of the resident population was exposed to 55dB(A) or higher noises during daytime in İstanbul. When applying the second ...
Noise Level Assessment for an Upcoming International Airport
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2018
Noise pollution is the excessive noise that may harm the activity or balance of human being. The sources of the most noise worldwide is mainly caused by atmospheric noise/environmental noise/occupational noise such as industrial machines, transportation systems and indoor noise generated by machines (particularly in some workplaces), building activities, domestic appliances and music performances etc. The main purpose of this study is to assess the impact and effect of noise emitted by traffic on the various links in the surrounding areas of an upcoming international airport. This study presents on site noise level measurement at 10 locations situated at 10 Km. radius from the Airport Reference Point (ARP) and on the various links around the airport. Noise monitoring was carried out at all locations for 24 Hours (Leq) in residential, commercial, Industrial and silence zone located in the surrounding areas of Kushinagar (U.P.) (India) airport during December-March 2017. FHWA model has been used for the prediction of noise level. The results show that noise pollution on various links are higher than the prescribed limits given by CPCB.

Analysis of noise abatement measures on European airports
Applied Acoustics, 2015
Air traffic noise is one of the major constraints of airport development. Many airports recognized noise problem long ago and have introduced a variety of measures to reduce its impact. The number and types of the introduced measures differ between airports. In order to determine the most influential factors for the introduction of noise abatement measures in airport surroundings, the research presented in this paper examined 248 European airports. By analyzing the correlation of specific characteristics related to airports (number of runways and aircraft operations, distance from the city and the population of the city that it serves, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita) and the number of introduced noise abatement measures, five hypothesis were examined: the higher number of aircraft operations causes the introduction of a higher number of noise abatement measures (NAMs); the higher number of runways will affect the introduction of a higher number of NAMs; airports that are closer to the settlement will introduce a higher number of NAMs; the higher population in the vicinity of the airport will affect the introduction of higher number of NAMs; the higher GDP per capita will affect the introduction of a higher number of NAMs. The results of analysis has shown that number of NAMs introduced doesn't have significant functional relationship with observed factors, except in some certain cases.
Noise mitigation action plan of Pisa civil and military airport and its effects on people exposure
Applied Acoustics, 2014
The ''Galileo Galilei'' airport is a civil and military airport quite close to central Pisa. Although the airport brings benefits in terms of tourism and different types of income, the air traffic growth exacerbates the exposition to aircraft noise. This could significantly affect public health. To this day, a small number of studies takes into account the standard indicators of Europe by considering noise emission data for military aircrafts. We estimated the noise impact produced by the airport and we evaluated the related exposed population by using the Integrated Noise Model (INM). The noise power levels of both commercial and military flights have been considered as an input to the model. Predicted levels were validated by means of a noise-monitoring network. A new tracking system (AirNav Radar) that captures Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals emitted by each aircraft has been used to emulate takeoff and landing procedures. This improves the accuracy of the input to the model. We simulated noise maps for present and future scenarios, including those following the application of noise reduction measures. For each situation, we also estimated the exposure of the population and the percentages of highly annoyed and highly sleep disturbed people. We show the utility of AIS data and their specific elaboration to draw up noise abatement measures in order to reduce the noise impact on population and allow the airport development.
Aircraft noise assessment in the vicinity of airports with different descriptors
New developments for aircraft noise zoning around the airports currently are under design in new states, including new EU member states. In these countries previous experience still exist and valid, particularly for sanitary-hygienic norms of the aircraft noise. But at the same moment the ICAO recommendations are used for these purposes also, so as the specific requirements/recommendations of the EU, for example, such as EU Directives 2002/49/EC, 2002/30/EC and 2006/93/EC. By this reason the estimation of aircraft noise impact on citizen near airports sometimes become ambiguous. Specific attention must be done to the airports with small aircraft traffic; the number of such airports is quite big in Lithuania, Ukraine and Russian Federation. The paper shows that for small city airport the noise zone, which is calculated for permissible limit described in L A,night , may be bigger than the calculated in L DEN . In general if to use the equivalent sound levels for noise zone limits it may produce a problem outside of these zones, because high maximum sound levels L A,max along the flight routes may exceed the national sanitary-hygienic norms for noise inside residential areas, which is described by these levels too. In this case the sound exposure and maximum levels for separate flights was analyzed, preferably by measurements (more preferably using monitoring), because the accuracy of aircraft noise calculation results in this case is much less than for equivalent sound levels. Details of calculation and measurement steps in noise zoning procedures for airports with small traffic are discussed.
Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology
Purpose In recent years, in parallel with the increasing air traffic and the number of passengers in air transport, the number of people exposed to aircraft-induced noise has increased significantly. Especially people living in the areas close to the airports are affected by noise emission during the landing, take-off, taxi and ground operations. Negative effects of noise such as sleep disturbance, lack of concentration, anxiety and high blood pressure cardiac diseases were determined directly or indirectly for human health. For this reason, examining the noise effect caused by aircraft and determining the necessary measures to be taken is very important for the sustainable development of aviation. In the International Eskisehir Hasan Polatkan Airport (LTBY), this paper aims to calculate a noise mapping following international standards in line with the directives of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Also, Annex 8, “Airworthiness of Aircrafts” and Annex 16, “Envi...
