Noise level zones describe a noise exposure situation based on a noise indicator or area affected by noise. They are used primarily for the preparation of strategic noise maps pursuant to Article R.572-5 of the Environmental Code. The data was last updated on January 26, 2021, and originates from the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières.
Use Cases
- Identify areas exceeding night-time noise limits based on the noise indicator mentioned in the description
- Prepare strategic noise maps for the Upper Rhine region as referenced for Article R.572-5 compliance
- Analyze spatial patterns of railway noise exposure based on the described noise level zones
