Using monetary values of noise for transport policy decisions: current practice and future developments in france

摘要

This paper gives a historic view of the use of monetary value of noise in cost-benefit analysis of large transport infrastructure projects in France over the last 5 years. Further to recommendations given in 1994 by the National Planning Office, noise values are used by the National Road Administration since 1998 for new and modification of existing roads. A revision of the methodology as well as noise values are expected in 2000.
