AGREGATION of Type C Strategic Noise Cards for Common Track Infrastructure

A 2021 aggregation of strategic noise maps created under European Directive 2002/49/EC. The dataset represents areas where Lden (day-evening-night) and Ln (night) noise level boundaries are exceeded, aggregated using the QGIS MIZOGEO plugin from CEREMA. It is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.

Use Cases

• Identify noise exceedance zones based on Lden and Ln indicators for compliance reporting.
• Establish baseline noise levels for Urban Travel Plans (UDPs) to target areas needing traffic management.
• Supplement Local Planning Plans (LDPs) with graphic elements showing environmental noise exposure.

Strengths

• Created under a harmonized EU directive (2002/49/EC) for standardized assessment.
• Aggregated using a specific QGIS plugin (MIZOGEO) made available by CEREMA.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2021-05-03 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
