Deep Learning-Based Forecasting of Environmental Noise in Campus Buildings Using Bi-LSTM and IoT Integration
摘要
This study presents an integrated environmental noise monitoring and forecasting system for campus buildings, combining IoT-based sensing, Kalman filtering, and deep learning. A stacked Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) model was trained on multivariate time-series inputs—including time-of-day encodings, foot traffic proxies, and class activity indicators—to predict hourly noise levels over a 7-day horizon. Noise data was collected using LM393 sensors and ESP8266 microcontrollers, transmitted to ThingSpeak via Wi-Fi, and analyzed in MATLAB. The system was deployed across three academic zones—hallway, classroom, and laboratory—achieving MAPE values of 9.30%, 10.20%, and 10.70%, respectively. To validate performance, the Bi-LSTM was benchmarked against unidirectional LSTM and SARIMA models using residual error and forecasting metrics (RMSE, MAE, MAPE). Results show that Bi-LSTM outperformed baseline models in capturing both structured and irregular noise fluctuations. These findings demonstrate the system’s applicability for proactive noise forecasting in Smart Campus settings and provide a scalable, data-driven foundation for informed policy planning.
