Strategic Noise Maps for Major Roads in Côte d'Or, Night Period 2012-2017

European Directive 2002/49/EC mandates noise mapping for major infrastructure to manage harmful environmental noise. This dataset contains strategic noise maps for departmental routes in the Côte d'Or region of France, specifically for the night period under the second deadline from 2012 to 2017. The Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) published the data, which was last updated on March 29, 2019.

Use Cases

• Modeling nighttime noise exposure for populations near major roads based on the noise mapping mandate.
• Assessing compliance with EU environmental noise directives for infrastructure exceeding 8200 vehicles per day.
• Informing local Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBE) based on the mapped noise exposure levels.
• Analyzing spatial patterns of traffic noise pollution in the Côte d'Or region during the 2012-2017 period.

Strengths

• Data is mandated by a specific EU directive (2002/49/EC), suggesting a standardized collection methodology.
• Focuses on a defined geographic region (Côte d'Or) and time period (2012-2017 second deadline).
• Targets infrastructure meeting specific thresholds (roads with >8200 vehicles/day), providing a clear scope.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality, format, and column definitions require manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2019 -03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified for current applications.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
