Novel Approach to Visualization of Soundplan Data for Analysis of Mining Noise
This paper describes a novel approach to using Google Earth in conjunction with SoundPLAN when conducting an environmental noise analysis of aggregate mines and quarries. Google Earth can be used to quickly visualize large data sets generated by SoundPLAN and to determine what areas
of the site require noise control measures for the mining equipment. The graphics created by this method can be used to develop a noise-driven mining plan and to help explain the noise control measures to the project team and the public. Other useful GIS tools that work with Google Earth and
SoundPLAN are also discussed.
