  • Title: The use of a global index of acoustic assessment for predicting noise in industrial rooms and optimizing the location of machinery and workstations.
    Author: Pleban D.
    Journal: Int J Occup Saf Ergon; 2014; 20(4):627-38. PubMed ID: 25513798.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the results of a study aimed at developing a tool for optimizing the location of machinery and workstations. A global index of acoustic assessment of machines was developed for this purpose. This index and a genetic algorithm were used in a computer tool for predicting noise emission of machines as well as optimizing the location of machines and workstations in industrial rooms. The results of laboratory and simulation tests demonstrate that the developed global index and the genetic algorithm support measures aimed at noise reduction at workstations.
