Life dynamap: The real time mapping system comes to life

In 2014 the LIFE DYNAMAP project moved its first steps towards the development of a system able to detect and represent in real time the acoustic impact of road infrastructures. To that end, an automatic monitoring system, based on customized low-cost sensors and a software tool im-plemented in a general purpose GIS platform, was developed and built in two pilot areas located along the A90 motorway that surrounds the city of Rome (Italy) and inside the agglomeration of Milan (Italy). After three years working, focused on the design of the system, the development of hardware and software components and the construction of the test sites, the project partners are now involved in the next experimental phase, where the Dynamap System reliability, effective-ness and efficiency will be evaluated. In this paper, a general overview of the project, of its pro-gress and of the main results achieved so far are described.
