5. DF4: Current status DATA PROCESSED:
Data delivered by Member countries until 20th February 2009
Several updates have been already received, and more are expected  updated QC of DF4 data will be done by the end of 2009.

6. DF4: Workflow overview Quality check 1 Access application Data model
INPUT
Zero values
Empty cells
Completness
Coherence
COUNTRY
Excel
Data base
Quality check 1
Quality check 2
Metadata
Spatial reference
Correctness SD
DF1 vs DF4: data coincidence
Unique ID
1 to 1 relationship
Shapefiles
Preliminary check of the INPUT information:
- Information understandable? Countries deliver the information following the proposed ENDRM? Language?
Quality check 1 of the statistical data:
- Completeness? Obligatory cells left in blank? (pink cells)
- Errors on the data provided? Like correctness of the data? Of the units? Coherence/comparison among noise exposure numbers?
Quality check 1 of the spatial data
Spatial reference? Metadata?
Correctness of the spatial data: overlapping polygons?
Check if the polygons delivered coincide with the information delivered for DF1
TO BE NOTED: CONTOUR MAPS, and not MAPS ON NOISE EXPOSURE
Quality check 2:
unique ID?
1 to 1 relation to link the attributes (noise exposure data in this case)
missing references
Development of a programme on Visual Basic to automatically import the data from Excel files into a relational database (Access).
During this process the following quality controls are automatically performed and detected issues recorded in a specific table:
Wrong data format (ENDRM as reference): length, data type, units
Mandatory data not provided.
When data already compiled, the following rules are automatically checked:
Consistency between entity codes in DF1 and DF4
Consistency between different variables (Lden >= LdenMajor)
Georeferenced database
OUTPUT
Reference layer / Statistical analysis

7. RESULTS: QC report + Detailed analysis at country level
Information used as input for the letters of clarification sent by the European Comissionto the MS

8. RESULTS: Complete database of the noise exposure data

9. RESULTS: Noise Reference Layer

10. Agglomerations: sources of noise (Lden)
Noise bands
41,2 Mio people exposed
Noise source

11. Agglomerations: impact of roads (Lden / Lnight)
42,1 Milion of people
27,7 Milion of people

12. People exposed to major roads (Lden / Lnight)
44,5 Milion of people
5,6 Milion of people

13. People exposed to major rails (Lden / Lnight)
7 Milion of people
5,6 Milion of people

14. People exposed to major airports (Lden / Lnight)
1,1 Milion of people
0,35 Milion of people

Not using Reportnet (there are several templates from the past)
Using Reportnet, but
not running the automatic QC
Running the QC and accepting errors
Few countries provided data in spatial format
