Abstract

Abstract As a scientific consequence of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, several initiatives have taken place in order to monitor noise levels trends before and after the lock down phase in several Italian and European cities. In Monza (Italy), since June 2017, a new smart noise monitoring system consisting of 10 sensors developed in the frame of the LIFE MONZA project is continuously measuring acoustic data every second and transmitting them hourly to a dedicated server. The sensors are located both along a main street of the Libertà district characterised by high traffic flows and along secondary streets of the district; they are positioned on (preferably sensitive) buildings facades and on streetlamps. In the present paper results of a study concerning changes occurred in noise levels trends before and during the lock down phase for the smart sensors are presented, together with a comparison with noise levels collected by the same sensors in the equivalent months of the previous year. Some preliminary considerations regarding the reliability of the sensors themselves are also provided.

利用LIFE Monza项目开发的智能传感器网络，在意大利蒙扎进行COVID-19大流行期间的噪音监测

摘要作为新冠肺炎疫情蔓延的科学后果，意大利和欧洲几个城市采取了几项举措，以监测封锁阶段前后的噪音水平趋势。在蒙扎（意大利），自2017年6月以来，LIFE Monza项目框架内开发的一个由10个传感器组成的新型智能噪声监测系统每秒持续测量声学数据，并每小时将其传输到专用服务器。传感器既位于Libertà区以高交通流量为特征的主要街道上，也位于该区的次要街道上；它们位于（最好是敏感的）建筑物外墙和路灯上。在本文中，介绍了一项关于智能传感器在锁定阶段之前和期间噪声水平趋势变化的研究结果，以及与前一年同等月份相同传感器收集的噪声水平的比较。还提供了关于传感器本身的可靠性的一些初步考虑。

期刊介绍： Ever since its inception, Noise Mapping has been offering fast and comprehensive peer-review, while featuring prominent researchers among its Advisory Board. As a result, the journal is set to acquire a growing reputation as the main publication in the field of noise mapping, thus leading to a significant Impact Factor. The journal aims to promote and disseminate knowledge on noise mapping through the publication of high quality peer-reviewed papers focusing on the following aspects: noise mapping and noise action plans: case studies; models and algorithms for source characterization and outdoor sound propagation: proposals, applications, comparisons, round robin tests; local, national and international policies and good practices for noise mapping, planning, management and control; evaluation of noise mitigation actions; evaluation of environmental noise exposure; actions and communications to increase public awareness of environmental noise issues; outdoor soundscape studies and mapping; classification, evaluation and preservation of quiet areas.
