An Automatic Highway Noise Monitor

Authors: Allen, Richard G.; Owen, Thomas P.; Torick, Emil L.

AES Convention 39 · Paper 754 · October 1970

Abstract

The development of a unique system for the automatic detection and identification of noisy vehicles is described. The instrument produces a continuous chart record of the A-weighted sound level at the monitoring location. Vehicles whose sound level exceeds a pre-set limit are automatically photographed by a split image camera which simultaneously records the relevant portion of the chart record. The optimum moment for photography of the vehicle is determined by a novel array utilizing cross correlation techniques.
