Abstract
The sonRAIL web tool represents a public application using the Swiss method of railway noise emission calculation for vehicles and track sections. It is intended to be used by engineers, planners and administrators for the evaluation of specific situations or noise mitigation measures as well as for exchange and enlargement of knowledge about railway noise in the community. The sonRAIL method is the property of the Federal Office of Environment of Switzerland (FOEN) and is hosted at https://sonrail.empa.ch. Access to the web tool can be requested at sonrail@empa.ch.
