abstract = "Noise pollution can significantly limit the growth of the communities located nearby an airport. Pisa International Airport has recently presented its action plan, which includes both the construction of a runway link that increases the take-off run length and the introduction of the
ICAO-A noise-abatement procedure. Nevertheless, the airport still needs to develop new strategies to ensure an effective noise reduction as a response to the growing aircraft traffic. This paper shows an innovative approach for managing airport noise on the closest urban areas based on the
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology. ADS-B output data were used to track the flight departures with high data resolution and then to verify both the effectiveness of the action plan and the compliance with its provisions. A penetration gate was strategically set
considering the departures towards the city. The vertical distribution of the traffic crossing the gate and the correlation between take-off conditions and noise-related events were investigated in order to establish rules for penalties due to the lack of compliance with the action plan requirements.
The results confirmed that ADS-B system could be considered a smart tool producing cost-effective solutions for the airport noise management in urban areas, particularly when the radar tracks are not available.",
