Noise Overrun LN 62 Type C: Road Noise Exceedance Areas for France

France road noise exceedance data transmitted by SEEF in 2011. The dataset identifies areas where noise limit values are exceeded at night (22h-6h) for residential, educational, and health buildings. It was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières for dynamic noise maps.

Use Cases

• Identify residential areas exposed to excessive nighttime noise based on exceedance areas.
• Assess noise impact on educational and health facilities based on exceedance areas.
• Support urban planning and noise mitigation strategies based on exceedance areas.
• Create public-facing noise maps (Cartélie) based on exceedance areas.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific noise limit value (62 dB(A) at night) for sensitive building types.
• Data was produced by a geological and mining research bureau (BRGM) for official noise mapping.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-03-22 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.
