Noise in the Environment — Noise Mapping — Tarn

The Environmental Noise Data Standard contains all the technical information to describe the Strategic Noise Maps (CBS) and the Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBE) in the form of interoperable spatial data of Directive 2002/49/EC of 25 June 2002, transposed into French law by Articles L.572-1 to L.572-11 of the Environmental Code. Article L.572-3 of the Environmental Code defines noise maps. They are a diagnosis. They provide a diagnosis of the noise environment for sources of noise related to land transport (road and rail), airport noise, as well as industrial noise. Article L.572-6 of the Environmental Code defines environmental noise prevention plans as documents which ‘are intended to prevent the effects of noise, to reduce, where necessary, noise levels and to protect quiet areas’. The Environmental Noise Data Standard contains all the technical information to describe the Strategic Noise Maps (CBS) and the Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBE) in the form of interoperable spatial data of Directive 2002/49/EC of 25 June 2002, transposed into French law by Articles L.572-1 to L.572-11 of the Environmental Code. The Standard for Noise in the Environment is in the form of a document consisting of two parts: Part 1, entitled “Noise mapping”, which essentially describes elements related to strategic noise maps and environmental noise prevention plans, Part 2, entitled “Data of land transport infrastructure and industries”, which describes the elements necessary upstream for the development of strategic noise maps and environmental noise prevention plans. The objective is to enable the exchange of noise environmental diagnostic data related to land transport infrastructure and industries such as strategic noise maps, as well as the issues addressed in environmental noise prevention plans. Expected use cases of standardisation of noise mapping in the environment: * facilitate the role of collection, conservation and awareness of areas of discomfort to infrastructure and industry noise * facilitate the implementation of Directive 2002/49/EC and European reporting in accordance with the INSPIRE Directive * improve production quality of Strategic Noise Cards (CBS) * improve the relevance of the visualisations produced
