A geospatial layer identifying railway infrastructure subject to European environmental noise regulations in the French department of Côte d'Or. The dataset is based on the European Directive 2002/49/EC, transposed into French law, and concerns railways with more than 82 train crossings per day. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in March 2019.
Use Cases
- Mapping noise exposure zones based on railway traffic thresholds mentioned in the description
- Assessing compliance with EU Directive 2002/49/EC for environmental noise management
- Supporting Environmental Noise Prevention Plan (PPBE) development at the local level
- Identifying infrastructure requiring noise maps as defined by the circular of 7 June 2007
Strengths
- Based on a specific legal framework (EU Directive 2002/49/EC and French Environmental Code)
- Focuses on infrastructure exceeding a defined regulatory threshold (82 train crossings/day)
- Has a defined geographic scope (Côte d'Or department)
