Performance of Noise Map Service Working in Cloud Computing Environment

In the paper a noise map service designated for the user interested in environmental noise subject is presented. It is based on cloud computing. Noise prediction algorithm and source model, developed for creating acoustic maps, are working in cloud computing environment. In the study issues related to noise modeling of sound propagation in urban spaces are discussed with a special focus on road noise. Examples of results obtained employing a web application created for that purpose are shown. Also, a comparison between the web-based results and those obtained from the commercial software simulations for two road noise prediction models is carried out. The user-interface design and ergonomics of the web application developed, as well its computing efficiency, are tested and analyzed. In the paper a flowchart simulating the operation of the noise webbased service is presented showing that the created application is easy to use even for people with little experience in computers.
