INTEGRATION OF GEOINFORMATICS TECHNOLOGIES AND ECONOMETRICS APPROACHES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: TRAFFIC NOISE

Abstract
An abstract of the dissertation ofTarek Abou El Seoud for the Doctor of
Philosophy in Regional and Urban Planning presented March 2005.
Title: Integration of Geoinformatics Technologies and Econometrics Approaches for Environmental Impact Assessment: Traffic Noise
This dissertation deals with the prediction/valuation phase of environmental impact assessment (EIA). The research develops a predictive approach to examine traffic noise in the Portland metropolitan area by the integration of geoinformatics technologies: geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). These technologies serve as a tool to process the input data and to analyze the spatial characteristics of the
results. The main prediction calculations are carried out in the traffic noise model developed by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA TNM). The solution described here integrates the whole process into one compatible efficient framework. At the same time, using the advantages of geostatistical tools of GIS and GPS technology, the research develops a calibration model for the application of the FHWA TNM to the Greater Cairo area using traffic noise field measurements.
