Definition of Key Performance Indicators for Noise Monitoring Networks

The European Noise Directive fixed a well-defined schedule on five-year basis for the noise exposure evaluation of citizens. monitoring is needed to validate maps main transportation infrastructures and it can also represent an improvement. By comparing with average maps, properly set sensor network report information in more case-specific way, including time variations. To best authors’ knowledge, key performance indicators (KPIs) evaluating technical financial sustainability acoustic networks have never been presented scientific literature. Therefore, present work, KPIs are proposed defined other pollutants. It then tuned according monitoring, line current legislations. As case study, three installed ports evaluated discussed. resulting investment maintenance costs be helpful decision makers calculate cost–benefits installation new stations evaluate already-existing ones.
