Monitoring and Alert of Noise Based on an Expert System Approach

Acoustic pollution has become a problem that is increasing in the different urbanized countries and in the path of development, due to the health problems caused by prolonged exposure to high noise levels. It is necessary to monitor and alert about decibel levels in both open and closed spaces. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that provides various inference techniques such as so-called fuzzy logic. And in that same direction, the application of expert systems facilitates decision making more accurately and in real time. This article presents the development of an expert system for noise monitoring and an alert mechanism, using fuzzy logic. Arduino and Raspberry Pi technology are used as hardware platforms for the development of the prototype.
