Aviation Noise Control Project

Absrtact	This project aims to understand the related laws and regulations, as well as the management practices, of aviation noise models currently implemented internationally and review the related aviation noise models and control regulations adopted in our country in the hope of proposing recommendations for the improvement of the related laws and regulations implemented in our country through the implementation of this project. In addition, since there are still quite a lot defects that need to be improved with regard to the operation of aviation noise monitoring stations and centers of various airports in our country, it is hoped that the implementation of this project would assist the Environment Protection Bureau (EPB) of the counties (or cities) where an airport is located in completing the checkup of aviation noise monitoring stations and centers. With the implementation of this project, explanation meetings on auxiliary tools for aviation noise monitoring data interpretation, as well as the improving measures for public petitions and revision of related laws and regulations, have been held with an aim to improve the quality of aviation noise monitoring so as to facilitate the checkup of aviation noise monitoring data at various military, civilian and military-civilian airports in a more effective and accurate way, strengthen the quality of aviation noise monitoring in the vicinity of airports, and reduce the number of petitions against aviation noise. The achievements of this project on aviation noise control include: 1.Completed collecting and organizing current regulations and administration practices relating to aircraft noise models internationally and proposed recommendations for regulations improvement in our country. 1)The project team completed collecting and organizing 12 aircraft noise models at airports in five countries – the US, Germany, Spain, France, and the UK, such as INM, NOISEMAP, NEF, AEDT, ACNIM, and HNMH in the US, CadnaA FLG, SOUNDPLAN, IMMI in Germany, Canarina CUSTIC in Spain, MITHRA in France (01dB-Stell), and ANCON in the UK. 2)Completed collecting the control practices for maximum volume of single aircraft noise in the vicinity of 8 airports in four countries – the UK, the US, Canada, and Japan, such as Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted in the UK, Santa Monica, Bob Hope, John Wayne in the US, Edmonton City Centre in Canada, and Osaka International in Japan. These practices might serve as a reference for future establishment of aircraft noise control practices in the vicinity of airports in our country. 3)Completed examining the Aircraft Noise Certification Standards (7th edition) promulgated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), of which the findings might serve as a reference for future revision of the Aircraft Noise Control Standards of our country. 2.Completed collecting and analyzing the petition cases on aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports in our country and proposed recommendations for improvement. 1)The project team collected petition cases against aircraft noise in the vicinity of 17 airports in 12 counties (or cities) during the past 3 years and analyzed the content and modality of those petitions, of which the findings might serve as a reference for the Environmental Protection Bureau of various counties or cities to exchange views and deal with various petition cases. 2)Completed assisting in collecting the related regulations and practices on aircraft noise control and subsidy measures to deal with airport noise problems in 9 countries, covering Europe (the UK, Netherlands, and France), Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia), and North America (the US and Canada), including noise-producing sources, land use planning and administration, aircraft operation procedures (for noise attenuation), operating limitations, and noise charges. 3)Completed analyzing the content and modality of petition cases against aircraft noises in the vicinity of airports in our country and proposed recommendations for effective improvement to serve as a reference for local Environmental Protection Bureau and airport administration units in their efforts to reduce the number of petition cases. 3.Completed assisting the Environmental Protection Bureau of counties (or cities) where an airport is located in checking of aircraft noise monitoring stations and centers in order to improve the quality of aircraft noise monitoring. 1)Our project team completed checking of aircraft noise monitoring stations and centers at Air Force 455th TFW (Chiayi Shueishang Airport) on August 7, 2017 and at Army Flying Training Command (Tainan Guiren Army Base) on September 22, 2017 respectively to enhance the quality of aircraft noise monitoring. 2)Completed review and revision of the “Review Guidance for Report on Checkup of Aviation Noise Monitoring Stations and Centers and Aviation Noise Monitoring in the Vicinity of Airports”, which will be available for use by the Environment Protection Bureau of the counties (or cities) where an airport is located. 3)Completed compiling and updating data concerning 201 fixed aircraft noise monitoring stations at 17 airports nationwide and establishing SOPs for checkup of aircraft noise monitoring stations and centers of various airports. 4.Completed explanation meetings on auxiliary tools for aircraft noise monitoring data interpretation and improvement of petition handling and revision of related regulations to enhance the quality of aircraft noise monitoring. 1)Held an explanation meeting on auxiliary tools for aircraft noise monitoring data interpretation at the 2nd meeting room (on the 5th floor) of Taipei Railway Station on July 10, 2017 to simplify the process of checkup and interpretation, so as to reduce operating time and manpower, as well as prevent human misinterpretation or alteration of checkup and aircraft noise monitoring data. The meeting was attended by representatives from airport administration units and the Environmental Protection Bureau of counties (or cities) where an airport is located. 2)Held and explanation meeting on the improvement of petition handling and revision of related regulations on aircraft noise control at Dharma Drum Degui Academy on November 15, 2017, during which improvement methods of petition handling (to reduce the number of petition cases) and recommendations for revision of related regulations on aircraft noise control were proposed.
