Modeling road traffic noise levels without including the effects of meteorology may lead to substantial errors. In the United States, the required model is the Traffic Noise Model which does not include meteorology effects caused by refraction. In response, the Transportation Research Board sponsored NCHRP 25-52, Meteorological Effects on Roadway Noise, to collect highway noise data under different meteorological conditions, document the meteorological effects on roadway noise propagation under different atmospheric conditions, develop best practices, and provide guidance on how to: (a) quantify meteorological effects on roadway noise propagation; and (b) explain those effects to the public. The completed project at 16 barrier and no-barrier measurement positions adjacent to Interstate 17 (I-17) in Phoenix, Arizona provided the database which has enabled substantial developments in modeling. This report provides more recent information on the model development that can be directly applied by the noise analyst to include meteorological effects from simple look-up tables to more precise use of statistical equations.

Resumo Ambientes para acesso a dados governamentais, via Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, podem ampliar possibilidades de acompanhamento pelo cidadão, retroalimentando futuras demandas. O objetivo deste estudo é identificar nos dados disponíveis via transparência ativa, a existência de elementos que permitam a elaboração de propostas de modelos dimensionais, propiciando a antecipação de demandas de acesso a dados. Como referencial teórico-metodológico, o texto utiliza os conceitos Business Intelligence eCitizen Intelligence. Como resultado, foi elaborada a proposta de um modelo dimensional a partir da consulta de despesas diárias, disponível no Portal de Transparência do Governo Federal.Palavras-chave Transparência Pública, Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, Coleta de Dados, Citizen Intelligence, Data Warehouse.Abstract Environments for access to government data, viaInformation and Communications Technologies, may expand possibilities for citizen monitoring, providing feedback for future demands. The aim of this study is to identify, in the available data via active transparency, the existence of elements that allow the construction of new proposals of dimensional models, enabling an anticipation of demands on data access. The theoretical-methodological framework, the text uses the concepts Citizen Intelligence and Business Intelligence. As a result, a dimensional model was proposed, building on a dimensional model from a daily expenses query, available in the Transparency home-page of the Brazillian Federal Government.Keywords Public Transparency, Information and Communication Technologies, Collecting Data, Citizen Intelligence, Data Warehouse.
