Strategic Noise Maps for Municipal Roads in Côte d’Or, 2012-2017

Strategic noise maps for type A municipal roads in the Côte d’Or department of France, created for the second deadline (2012-2017) under the European Union's Environmental Noise Directive. The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated in March 2019. It covers roadways likely exceeding 8,200 vehicles per day, as mandated by the directive and its transposition into French law.

Use Cases

• Modeling noise exposure levels for populations near major municipal roads based on the mapping mandate.
• Assessing compliance with EU noise regulations for infrastructure built or managed before 2017.
• Informing local Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBEs) using the geospatial noise exposure data.
• Analyzing temporal trends in road traffic noise for the 2012-2017 reporting period.

Strengths

• Data is mandated by a specific EU directive (2002/49/EC), providing a clear regulatory context.
• Covers a defined five-year reporting period (2012-2017) for the second EU deadline.
• Focuses on a specific geographic area (Côte d’Or department) and infrastructure type (municipal roads).

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 and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
