Detailed Design Specification for a Prototype Assessment System for Aircraft Noise (ASAN)
Abstract
The U.S. Air Force Noise and Sonic Boom Impact Technology (NSBIT) program is sponsoring a multi-stage effort to create a computer system containing tools needed by the environmental planning community to perform a variety of taks related to assessing the environmental impacts of aircraft noise on people, animals, and structures. This interim report provides a detailed design specification for a prototype version of the NSBIT Assessment System for Aircraft Noise (ASAN) that is the major project of the first stage of this effort. The purposes and expected uses of ASAN are presented in Fidell and Harris (1987). The general functional capabilities of this system are described by Harris and Fidell (1987). The current report describes the organization of ASAN, its functional capabilities, and its major software modules. Keywords: Computer systems, Computer software, Noise, Aircraft noise, Noise effects, Noise impacts, Animals, Humans, Structures, Models, Noise prediction.
