Overcoming Challenges in Noise Enforcement

Authorities face diverse and complex challenges: continuous reduction of noise pollution, transparent information provision to the public, and comprehensive reporting to federal and cantonal bodies on the effectiveness of implemented measures. DECIBASE addresses these challenges in a targeted, flexible, and sustainable manner, aligning with the legal requirements of the Noise Abatement Ordinance SR 814.41 (LSV).

The Problem: Outdated or Inadequate Systems

Many agencies still rely on rudimentary Excel spreadsheets or outdated noise pollution register solutions that no longer meet current demands. This hampers compliance with legal information obligations, reporting, and the planning and monitoring of measures.

DECIBASE: The Solution for Modern Noise Data Management

DECIBASE enables the management of noise pollution, emission data, projects, and measures. For visualization, maps from GIS services (Web Map Service / Web Feature Service) can be integrated as needed. This creates a clear, intuitive, and future-ready data management system that can be flexibly expanded with internal or public data categories.

Seamless Integration and Flexible Interfaces

With comprehensive import and export functions, DECIBASE integrates into existing systems such as GIS and calculation programs. The solution also supports ongoing maintenance of noise register data and enables centrally organized quality assurance aimed at long-term success.

State-of-the-Art and Convenient Success Monitoring

With DECIBASE, authorities can calculate noise pollution accurately and with foresight, supported by the current emission model sonROAD18. The platform also serves as a modern monitoring tool for assessing the success of noise remediation efforts and for proactive planning of further measures. Pavement acoustic data can also be seamlessly integrated via the optional CPX module.

Simplified Reporting and Data Management

Authorities can use DECIBASE to create structured reports and documentation for program agreements (Article 20 LSV), measures, immission and emission data (MGDM), and projects—efficiently and in compliance with standards. This ensures accountability to federal and cantonal bodies and provides a clear overview of noise pollution developments.
