Strategic Noise Maps for Municipal Roads in Côte d'Or, Nighttime 2012-2017

The dataset contains strategic noise maps for municipal roads of card type B during nighttime hours, produced for the Côte d'Or department in France for the 2012-2017 deadline. It was created by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) in compliance with the European Directive 2002/49/EC and French law. The maps cover roadways used by more than 8200 vehicles per day.

Use Cases

• Assess compliance with EU noise regulations based on the 8200 vehicles/day threshold mentioned in the description.
• Model population exposure to nighttime traffic noise based on the strategic mapping approach described.
• Support the development of Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBEs) based on the mandated noise exposure mapping.
• Analyze spatial patterns of noise pollution from municipal roads in the Côte d'Or region.

Strengths

• Created under a specific EU Directive (2002/49/EC) and French law, providing a clear regulatory context.
• Focuses on a defined geographic area (Côte d'Or department) and time period (2012-2017).
• Targets a specific noise source (municipal roads) and period (nighttime) with a quantitative threshold (8200 vehicles/day).

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
