Acqua Alta a Venezia: Design of a Urban Scale Auditory Warning System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new warning system for high tide in Venice has been designed to replace the existing network of electro-mechanical sirens. The project was divided into four sections: (i) optimal placement of loudspeakers via constraint logic programming, (ii) simulation and visualization of the acoustic field in the city, (iii) design of the warning sounds, (iv) validation of the warning sounds. This paper reports the strategies and results of all four project stages, with special emphasis on sound design and validation.

Numerical Simulation of Morphology in the Tidal Environments
The effects of global climate changes occur in the rising sea level, higher lake level, stronger more frequent storms and extreme temperature. And these changes will have real impacts on the natural environment as well as human-made infrastructures. For example, Acqua alta, or "high water", flooded Venice in Italy with more a meter of salty lagoon water in December, 2008. The acqua alta which w...
متن کاملDesign and Development of Early Warning System for Desertification and Land Degradation
Early warning systems are key components of strategies to reduce risk. This research, by adopting a systematic approach in the management of the risk of desertification and by including previously developed models and systems, offers an integrated efficient structure in terms of early warning for the risk of desertification as a pilot system for semi-arid areas of west Golestan Province in IRAN...
متن کاملSharing skills and needs between providers and users of climate information to create climate services: lessons from the Northern Adriatic case study
The need to cope with the expected impacts of climate change on socio-ecological systems calls for a closer dialogue between climate scientists and the community of climate information users. We describe an interactive process designed to bridge this gap by establishing a two-way communication, based on mutual learning. We analyse the need of climate information for the integrated assessment of...
متن کاملWave Statistics and Space-time Extremes via Stereo Imaging
We present an analysis of the space-time dynamics of oceanic sea states exploiting stereo imaging techniques. In particular, a novel Wave Acquisition Stereo System (WASS) has been developed and deployed at the oceanographic tower Acqua Alta in the Northern Adriatic Sea, off the Venice coast in Italy. The analysis of WASS video measurements yields accurate estimates of the oceanic sea state dyna...
متن کاملDesign of Integrated Monitoring and Early Warning System of Urban Rail Transit Train Running State
The monitoring and warning of urban rail transit is the core of operation management, and the breadth and depth of the monitoring range directly affect the quality of urban rail transit operation. For the current domestic monitoring system, most of the critical equipments and technologies are introduced from abroad; it is diseconomy, and also causes hidden danger. Realizing the localization of ...
