Geofencing Technology for Sustaining Vehicular Noise Pollution in Urban Areas

Abstract

Automobile has become an integral part of social life resulting in a by-product of Noise pollution. Vehicular honking in urban areas is a major contributor to adverse health effects and biological imbalance between humans, animals, and birds. Various researches show that honking is one of the major causes of noise pollution and a negative contributor to the social peace index and decline in various species of birds which also contribute to socio-ecological balance and hygiene. This paper discusses the design of hybrid solutions to reduce the impact of honking, within a sustainable limit without neglecting the objective or failing its purpose. This, in turn, decreases the stress caused due to honking during the waiting period in traffic and improves the mental health also the quality of biodiversity, contributing to a sustainable society.
