The Challenge

To fulfill King County’s permit requirements for the facility, Landau installed a system that would continuously monitor ongoing operations at the racetrack while, at the same time, trigger additional recording when construction noise exceeded a certain threshold. This system allowed construction noise to be analyzed separately as needed. Additionally, King County wanted to provide a way for community members to easily access noise-related data online. Landau developed a data dashboard with a public-facing module as well as sections that were only visible for internal data assessment. This tool helped the County and Pacific Raceways answer community questions about noise while also allowing Landau’s noise experts to access the in-depth data needed for their analysis.

In an effort to provide information on noise levels from the raceway to surrounding neighbors, Landau created a publicly accessible data dashboard showing noise level fluctuations throughout the day.
