INM Export Module – Single Scenarios

TRB-2001 (January 7, 2001)

Simulating routes and results, Honolulu, TradeWind

TRB-2001 (January 7, 2001)

Generating of INM tracks and flight operations from simulating results

TRB-2001 (January 7, 2001)

Use INM to generate noise contours

TRB-2001 (January 7, 2001)

Import INM noise contours for Honolulu, TradeWind (DNL)

TRB-2001 (January 7, 2001)

INM noise contours for Honolulu, KonaWind (DNL)

TRB-2001 (January 7, 2001)

INM Export Module – Multi Scenarios

TRB-2001 (January 7, 2001)

Combined INM noise contours, Honolulu TradeWind (95%) and KonaWind (5%)

TRB-2001 (January 7, 2001)

TASM Special tools

• Noise at point using mouse cursor• Population at point (grid area) using mouse cursor• Demographics and population overlay (similar to INM)• Noise contours area and population impact reports (similar

to INM’s reports)
