Noise Contours for Provincial Roads in Zuid-Holland, 2013

Sound contours (Lden) for articulated road sections, calculated in accordance with the EU Environmental Noise Directive. The data for the calculation of noise contours for road traffic are based on the data provided by the province of Zuid-Holland. All acoustic calculation models have been drawn up in accordance with the Noise Noise Decree 2006.

Use Cases

• Modeling noise exposure for public health studies based on the Lden sound contours.
• Assessing compliance with the EU Environmental Noise Directive based on the provided noise contours.
• Planning noise mitigation measures for provincial roads based on the geospatial noise load data.
• Analyzing the spatial distribution of noise pollution from road traffic based on the contour maps.

Strengths

• Data is calculated in accordance with a specific legal framework, the EU Environmental Noise Directive and the Noise Noise Decree 2006.
• Acoustic models were generated using specified calculation software (DGMR Geoenvironment version 1.91).
• The dataset has a defined geographic scope, being based on data from the province of Zuid-Holland.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
