Noise Round 3 Rail (Lden)
A polygon dataset from Ireland's strategic noise mapping programme, presenting noise contours for railway lines exceeding the relevant flow threshold, measured using the Lden indicator (day-evening-night noise level). The mapping covers the Dublin and Cork agglomerations and applies to major rail infrastructure required to be assessed under strategic noise mapping obligations. It is published by the Environmental Protection Agency and forms part of a wider round of national noise mapping covering roads, rail, and agglomerations, used to assess environmental noise exposure from rail transport.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 Lden (day, evening, night) period for Dublin and Cork agglomerations and the major roads ou...
