Introduction
Burden of disease due to environmental noise
> 1 M DALYs / year
Sleep disturbance
Cognitive impairment
Cardio-vascular disease
Major role of road traffic noise
Passengers
Goods
Mostly rolling noise above 50 km/h
Pavements matter !
Standardized procedures for pavement assessment and

classification
Software required, why not Scilab ?

On January 1st 2014, the 8 CETE facilities, Certu, Cetmef
and Setra will merge to form a new structure for
expertise and engineering in relation to risks, urban and
country planning, the environment, and transport which
is to be known as Cerema.
