Municipal noise protection with HEDS - High Emitter Detection System – from Müller-BBM Industry Solutions GmbH.

Traffic noise is one of the most common causes of complaints in towns and cities. But noise is subjective – and without reliable data, it is difficult to make informed decisions. There is often a lack of continuous, objective and legally compliant measurement data to enable the targeted planning of measures or the reliable identification of conspicuous vehicles. HEDS closes precisely this gap.

Why HEDS?

Many municipalities face the same challenges:

  • Complaints are increasing, but measurement data is lacking or not comparable.
  • Noise protection measures remain ineffective because the actual sources cannot be clearly identified.
  • Excessively noisy vehicles on the road are rarely detected and even more rarely recorded.

The solution: a system that listens, recognises and documents. 

HEDS – High Emitter Detection System identifies disturbing noise sources in traffic in real time. The system combines state-of-the-art technologies:

  • Class 1 sound level measurements
    For precise, standard-compliant and legally valid measurement results.
  • Acoustic beamforming imaging
    Lokalises the source of noise precisely, even in heavy traffic.
  • AI-supported analysis
    Automatically detects and documents vehicles with conspicuous noise peaks.

This combination provides a comprehensive, reliable picture of traffic noise levels – objective, continuous and verifiable.

Your added value

HEDS provides cities and municipalities with a solid database for

  • effectively planning noise reduction measures,
  • identifying conspicuous vehicles,
  • making traffic monitoring more efficient,
  • developing long-term noise protection strategies based on data. 

This makes noise protection measurable, transparent and sustainable.
