Abstract:

NoiseMap and the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) both use an integrated modeling approach to calculate aircraft noise in and around an airfield. Both models also employ the same general overall approach by using airfield operational data, standard reference noise databases, and flight trajectories as inputs to their computational models, which calculate the individual noise exposures from each flight trajectory and accumulates the total noise exposure within a grid of points. However, differences between the NoiseMap and AEDT models exist in the details within each of these general areas. Given the considerable overlap in capabilities between the FAA’s AEDT and the DOD NoiseMap suite of programs and considering the US Government’s investment and future plans for continued AEDT improvement, a gap analysis was conducted to evaluate technical overlaps and gaps that currently exist between the two toolsets. This report covers the following technical areas: Physical Modeling, Input Data/Graphic User Interface (GUI), and Output Capabilities.
