Web enabled spatio-temporal semantic analysis of traffic noise using CityGML

Indian population is growing very fast and is responsible for posing various environmental risks like traffic noise which is the primitive contributor to the overall noise pollution in urban environment. So, an attempt has been made to develop a web enabled application for spatio-temporal semantic analysis of traffic noise of one of the urban road segments in India. Initially, a traffic noise model was proposed for the study area based on the Calixto model. Later, a City Geographic Markup Language (CityGML) model, which is an OGC encoding standard for 3D data representation, was developed and stored into PostGIS. A web GIS framework was implemented for simulation of traffic noise level mapped on building walls using the data from PostGIS. Finally, spatio-temporal semantic analysis to quantify the effects in terms of threshold noise level, number of walls and roofs affected from start to the end of the day, was performed.
