Noise Round 3 Rail (Lnight)
This is a polygon dataset of the strategic noise mapping of rail, which were identified as those rail exceeding the flow threshold of 30,000 vehicle passages per year, in the form of noise contours for the Lnight (night) period for Dublin and Cork agglomerations and the major rail outside of the...
This dataset provides polygon-based strategic noise mapping for rail infrastructure in Ireland, presented as noise contours for the Lnight (night-time) period. It covers major rail lines exceeding the threshold of 30,000 passages per year, focusing on the Dublin and Cork agglomerations as well as major rail outside these areas, in line with Round 3 noise mapping requirements. The dataset is published by the Environmental Protection Agency and forms part of Ireland's strategic environmental noise mapping under relevant EU noise directive obligations, supporting assessment of night-time noise exposure from rail transport near populated areas.
