Abstract:
This paper presents a noise monitoring system based on web service technologies. By using microphones placed in certain locations, the system investigates the level of noise pollution. Sensed data are collected, processed and visualized. One of the advantages of the system is to provide monitoring modules that can be added to user websites when necessary. The objective of these modules is to display noise levels at a specific location in real time. The paper also shows the advantages and capabilities of web services in noise monitoring systems. Web service interfaces are developed to support database access, by which many users can query sound database system at the same time. It is believed that the availability of these modules promotes the participation of urban citizens in the noise monitoring task.
