IMMI - The Noise Mapping Software
IMMI covers a wide range of applications ranging from noise mapping to air pollution modelling. IMMI integrates both noise and air pollution in a single software package. In this section we will concentrate on the features of IMMI specifically designed for noise mapping and noise prediction. In these fields, IMMI is one of the leading packages worldwide. With its modular design and price-list, IMMI can be tailored to the user's needs and budgets - ask for details.
IMMI is continuously adapted to meet the requirements of evolving regulations and standards. Depending on the calculation method, IMMI calculates Leq, Lday, Levening, Lnight, Lden, LAmax, L10 and other sound or statistical indicators. Currently IMMI can be equipped with
- noise
calculation methods for road traffic noise, railway traffic noise, air transport noise and industrial/recreational noise - more than 20 national and international noise calculation methods
Noise Mapping gained additional importance with the arrival of Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise. IMMI is equipped with a full set of functions to produce Strategic Noise Maps of major roads, major railways, major airports and major agglomerations.
