Abstract

In this paper a methodology for analyzing the behavior of the environmental noise pollution is proposed. It consists of a mobile application called ‘Noise Monitor’, which senses the environmental noise with the microphone sensor available in the mobile device. The georeferenced noise data constitute Volunteered Geographic Information that compose a large geospatial database of urban information of the Mexico City. In addition, a Web-GIS is proposed in order to make spatio-temporal analysis based on a prediction model, applying Machine Learning techniques to generate acoustic noise mapping with contextual information. According to the obtained results, a comparison between support vector machines and artificial neural networks were performed in order to evaluate the model and the behavior of the sensed data.
