Côte d’Or, France, strategic noise maps for major highways, created under the second deadline (2012-2017) of the European Directive 2002/49/EC. The dataset, produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, focuses on roadways used by more than 8200 vehicles per day. It supports the assessment and management of environmental noise as transposed into French law.
Use Cases
- Assess compliance with EU noise directive thresholds based on the 8200 vehicles/day criteria.
- Model population exposure to traffic noise based on strategic noise mapping methodology.
- Inform local Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBE) using the noise exposure maps.
- Analyze noise impact from major national road infrastructure as defined by the 2007 circular.
Strengths
- Legally mandated data collection under EU Directive 2002/49/EC and French Environmental Code.
- Specific focus on major road infrastructure exceeding 8200 vehicles per day.
- Covers a defined regulatory period (second deadline 2012-2017).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
