The Analysis Of The Traffic Noise, In An Area Densely Populated, With Gis Software Used In The Educational Process

In this paper we present how Geomedia Professional software is used to analyze the influence of urban transport noise in a densely populated area. This software, used in the educational process, allows for concrete measures in real time and long time, to reduce the harmful influence of noise on human factor. Noise maps presented are the result of measurements at the centre of Sibiu at various times of day, several days of the week. One of the objectives of this paper is to present a solution for the protection of citizens who live in an area with heavy traffic. Another objective of this paper is to present the advantages of using GIS products in the study of road transport.
