Strategic Noise Maps for Highways in Côte d’Or, Daytime Period 2012-2017

Strategic noise maps for major road infrastructure in the Côte d’Or department of France, covering the daytime period for the second regulatory deadline from 2012 to 2017. The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated in March 2019. It implements the European Directive 2002/49/EC on environmental noise assessment and management.

Use Cases

• Assess compliance with EU noise regulations based on noise exposure mapping.
• Model population exposure to harmful environmental noise based on traffic thresholds.
• Inform Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBEs) for major road infrastructure.
• Analyze noise pollution from roadways used by more than 8200 vehicles per day.

Strengths

• Maps produced under a specific EU Directive (2002/49/EC) and French law, providing a legal and methodological framework.
• Focuses on major road infrastructure exceeding a defined traffic threshold (8200 vehicles/day).
• Covers a specific five-year regulatory period (2012-2017) for the second deadline.
