Primer and Framework for Considering an Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System
Airports use Noise and Operations Monitoring
Systems (NOMSs) to collect, manage, analyze, and communicate data such as flight tracks and
procedures, aircraft identification, noise measurements, noise abatement program performance, and
weather. NOMSs are also used to respond to community noise complaints and provide stakeholders
with information about aircraft activity and noise, thus fostering trust and transparency.
The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's
ACRP Research Report 237: Primer and Framework for Considering an Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System
is a comprehensive resource to help airport industry practitioners assess the
potential benefits and costs of acquiring, maintaining, and updating a NOMS or flight tracking tools without
permanent noise monitors.
Supplemental to the report are
Appendices A though K.
