Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Noise Zones (Type B Map) of the railway Marseille Vintimille

European Directive 2002/49/EC of 25 June 2002 on evaluation and management environmental noise involves an assessment of environmental noise in the vicinity of major transport infrastructure (land and air) and in major agglomerations for EU Member States. This assessment is carried out in particular through the development of strategic ‘so-called’ noise maps. the first series were drawn up in 2007 (1st deadline of the Directive) and 2012 (2nd deadline). Article L572-5 of the Environmental Code states that these maps are “reviewed, and if necessary revised, at least every five years”. Thus, the implementation of this review leads, in 2017 and as appropriate, to revise or renew the maps previously developed. CBS are required in particular for railway infrastructure with annual traffic exceeding 30 000 train crossings per year; For major road and rail transport infrastructure, the CBS are established, decided and approved under the authority of the prefect of the department. Noise maps are developed according to the indicators established by the European Directive, namely Lden (Day Evening Night Level) and Ln (Night Level). • Day/day: [6h-18h] • Evening/evening: [18h-22h] • Night/night: [22h-6h] The Lden and Ln indicators correspond to a defined energy average over the periods (Day/Black/Night) for Lden and (Night) for Ln. The corresponding results are expressed in A or dB(A) weighted decibels. Type B maps correspond to the areas affected by noise in accordance with the noise classification of land transport infrastructure which has been drawn up and adopted by the Prefect pursuant to Article L571-10 of the Environmental Code. This classification defines, for future residential, educational, health and hotel buildings located in these areas affected by noise, a minimum sound isolation of buildings. These requirements are laid down in the Decree of 30 May 1996 as amended by Decree of 23 July 2013.
