Noise level zones describe a noise exposure situation based on a noise indicator or area affected by noise, used for strategic noise mapping under Article R.572-5 of the French Environmental Code. The table presents the exposure characteristics of the day, evening, and night populations along the Orléans-Toulouse railway line. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated on April 2, 2019.
Use Cases
- Modeling population exposure to railway noise based on day, evening, and night noise indicators.
- Preparing strategic noise maps for regulatory reporting under the Environmental Code.
- Assessing the environmental impact of the Orléans-Toulouse railway line on surrounding areas.
Strengths
- Data is structured for regulatory strategic noise mapping as defined by Article R.572-5 of the Environmental Code.
- Exposure characteristics are differentiated for day, evening, and night populations.
Limitations
- Last updated 2019-04-02 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
