Parked-train noise: estimating the exposed population across Europe for UIC

International Union of Railways (UIC)

A Europe-wide study for the International Union of Railways, with 12 countries analysed in full, estimating how many people live close enough to depots, stabling sidings and yards to be affected by noise from parked trains, such as HVAC and auxiliary equipment running overnight. It combines AI-assisted satellite validation of parking locations with population grids, to give UIC evidence on whether EU limit values for parked-train noise are needed.
