noise-control technology now on edmonton streets, listening and watching - digital display board

For the next four months, the late summer roar of vehicles on Edmonton's streets is being recorded.
Four cameras are starting up and four other digital display boards are installed in different locations to monitor the noisy attractions of the city.
This is an expanded pilot project designed to measure the acceleration speed of motorcycles and vehicles.

Edmonton city councillor said that on April, the city councillor agreed to continue testing the noise to control the noise on the streets of Edmonton.
Monitor the device to determine if it can be used to enhance extreme noise, as is the case with photo radar for speeding drivers.
However, the cameras in this pilot project did not issue tickets.
Cameras in four locations will take photos of vehicles exceeding 85 decibels

"It's annoying and very frustrating," he said . ".
"I like the idea of this pilot project and I think it's a good start.
"You can't chase people on the road, you can't let people down," he said . ".
Cailyn Shaw, a sales assistant at a store on white Avenue, said that the store's alarm clock rang more than once because the noise outside shook the window and imitated the rest. in.
"It's a motorcycle thing, there's no silencer, it actually caused our broken glass alarm.
She said: "There was a loud siren in the store, and an automated voice came that said the police were on the way.
"It's not only putting a lot of pressure on us, it's putting a lot of pressure on anyone in the store who doesn't understand what's going on, and I'm sure it's causing some sort of panic.
"I don't think it's fair for businesses or residents in the area who have to deal with the noise.
McKeen and several other members of parliament supported the idea of eventually using automatic law enforcement for noise violations.
"I know that while we are talking, there are people outside shouting 'cash grabs, '" he admits, given the city's past criticism on photo radar.
Edmonton reportedly needs to plan to control traffic noise, but it is difficult to implement it to get people to control their silencers and motorcycles.
"The police cannot make it a priority.
"On 2017, Edmonton police issued 29 tickets under the city's motorcycle noise regulations.
Police told CBC News on Wednesday that the number of tickets has reached 47 so far this year.
For all other vehicle noise violations, the police must issue a ticket under the Traffic Safety Act of the province.
They distributed 113 copies last year and so far this year they have distributed 49.
The pilot project started late this year.
The city plans to start monitoring earlier in the spring and report to members of Parliament on September.
Gord Cebryk, deputy manager of the city, said it would take more time to purchase specialized noise monitoring equipment from the United States than expected.
Cebryk said that after compiling the pilot's data, the goal of the traffic safety department is to return to Parliament in November.
"I think we still have time to make a decision because we have to make a plan all winter.
The city must determine whether the current legislation allows them to advance automated law enforcement, or whether the city must cooperate with the province, Cebryk said.
