Noise Domain Model:
Measurements, Modelling and Mapping
Debbie Wilson – Snowflake Software
(on behalf Ordnance Survey)

Overview
• Following slides provide a detailed summary
description of the Noise Domain Model
• Measurements
• Modelling
• Mapping
• Plus proposed generic CityGML ADE for:
• Adding time-varying properties to City Objects
• New City Objects: ‘Heat Map’ for visualising thematic
properties that vary over space and time

Noise Domain Model
• Develop a model that meets the requirements for:
– Open Data Exchange
– 2D and 3D Visualisation
• Applications:
– Citizen participation in measuring noise exposure (NoiseTube)
– Monitoring /Assessment of noise exposure
• Noise simulation modelling (END Directive)
– Noise Exposure Mapping for citizen engagement and
decision-making
• Strategic Noise Maps (END Directive)
• 2D/3D visualisation of noise exposure (NoiseTube)

Profiling ISO19156 Observations and Measurements

ISO 19156 ‘Observations and measurements’ provides a generic framework for
describing both the observing event and the results of the observation. It is applicable
to a wide range of scientific and technical domains.
The generic nature of this standard means
that it requires further specialisation to
constrain aspects of the model …

INSPIRE Specialised Observations
Profiling ISO19156 Observations and Measurements
Defines 3 types of Specialised Observation based on
the Result Type. These extend the example ISO
19156 specialised observations:
• Gridded Observation
• Trajectory or Profile Observations
• Point Observations
INSPIRE Specialised
Observations constrain
the result,
featureOfInterest and
phenomenonTime

• Result is an Any type – so...it can be anything!

Question: Should Noise Measurements re-
use/extend INSPIRE Specialised Observations?
Recommendation - YES

Procedures: OGC SensorML and INSPIRE Process
SensorML is a comprehensive, generic model for
describing the processes used to estimate the value
of a phenomenon using a sensor
• A measurement process can be described within an
external resource and referenced to in the
Observation

Procedures: OGC SensorML and INSPIRE Process
INSPIRE Observation – Process is intended to provide an alternative
lightweight model for describing the procedure compared to
SensorML

Recommendation 1 – Use SensorML for
describing Sensor Systems:
• It is more mature and comprehensive
• Provides flexibility in the depth of info you can provide

Proposed Noise Measurements Model
• Two data exchange requirements:
– Source noise exposure measurements
– Aggregated/modelled noise exposure measurements
1. Source noise exposure measurements:
– Time series collected at mobile locations (NoiseTube)
– Need to extend to include summary statistics
Recommendation 1 – Use INSPIRE Specialised Observation –
Trajectory Observation

2. each point in the result must be a

3. phenomenonTime must be a TM_Period
4. featureOfInterest must be a

developed to support the requirements of the NoiseTube

NOTE: a SF_SamplingCurve

For an aggregated/modelled

2. Aggregated/modelled noise exposure measurements
• Post-processing modelling may generate generalised noise exposure
measurements for an area of interest:
– Regular gridded data – overlay over terrain model or city model
– Around Road, Rail, Airport, Industry (see Noise Mapping Model)
Proposed Noise Measurements Model
Recommendation 1 – Use INSPIRE Specialised Observation –
Grid Observation

Issues identified with the existing Noise ADE:
1. The Building ADEElement class should generalise the CityGML Building object
not AbstractBuilding
2. The attribute names could be made more succinct by removing the 'building'
prefixes
3. buildingAppartments contains a spelling mistake
4. Attributes such as buildingReflection should use a codelist rather than
CharacterString to ensure consistency.

3. Is there are requirement for Segments or could the model

This would simplify the model as only has one

Noise Mapping
END Strategic Noise Mapping:
• Enable assessment of exposure of populations to noise
• Inform development of action plans to reduce noise exposure and
protect existing quiet areas
• inform and engage the public in the development of noise action plans

END Strategic Noise Maps
• Environmental noise exposure has to be strategically
mapped in the following areas:
– Agglomerations - large, densely populated urban areas –
(UK: > 250,000 people with a population density of < 500
/km2 )
– Around roads with more than six million vehicle passages
a year
– Around railways with more than 60,000 train passages a
year
– Around airports with more than 50,000 movements a year

Noise Exposure Maps
• These are typically thematic maps “Heat Maps”,
contours, grids or city objects whose values may be:
– Noise Exposure: Laeq (dBA), Lden, Lnight
– Statistics: Total or % population exposed

Candidate Application Schema
• Basic overlaying of noise exposure information
– ISO 19156 – Observations and Measurements
– OGC Coverages – e.g. RectifiedGridCoverage,
MultiPointCoverage
• Developed Noise Mapping Model:
– Contours (Generic)
– Generic Models for Time-Varying Properties
• TimeVaryingProperty Model
• Heat Map ADE
– City Object – Noise Exposure
Noise Mapping

• Very simple, generic model consisting of a contour
line, contour value and contour property type
Noise Contours
Question: Are any other properties required?

Example values for ContourPropertyType:

etc.....

• Real-world phenomenon like noise expose vary both
over time and space
• Starting point develop a generic model for time-
varying properties
Modelling Time-Varying Property
Design Principles:
• Needs to be simple
• Can be used within for multiple purposes:
• Thematic Noise Mapping “Heat Maps”
• City Object Noise Exposure Maps
• Other thematic areas: Energy -Solar Potential
• Based on existing O&M Modelling pattern as has similar
requirements

• The Time-Varying Property can be used within a
Thematic Heat Map feature
• A HeatMap feature has been developed as a new
CityGML City Object LOD0
• 2 Specialised types:
– SurfaceHeatMap
– GriddedHeatMap

• Time-varying properties such as Noise

attributes to City Objects
Adding Time-Varying Properties to City Objects
• Model should be flexible enough
to allow objects to have multiple
time-varying properties
• Time-varying properties such as Noise
Exposure/Solar Potential can be added as thematic
attributes to City Objects

• Result type can be existing

• Or, can explicitly define a <<type>>

Conclusions
• Action 1: Need to share with modelling team to agree
proposed generic CityGML ADE for time-varying properties
and Heat Map
• Action 2: Noise Domain Expert Review to identify what noise
exposure parameters would be published in a heat map or on
a City Object
– Needed to develop controlled vocabulary of phenomenon
– Agree whether SWE Common Data Array would be suitable for
encoding result or define concrete result class
• Action 3: Identify which City Objects would form a Noise
Exposure – City Objects ADE
