How we counted
The ÖV-Güteklassen 2025 come from ÖROK, the Austrian Conference on Spatial Planning, and AustriaTech publishes them. The classes rate the weekday service at each stop and measure the distance to the stop as the crow flies, so evening and weekend timetables stay out of the count. The road noise comes from the strategic noise maps 2022 of the federal ministry BMLUK, a model that gives the noise at the facade as Lden, an average over day, evening and night. The maps model the main roads, and Lagecheck estimates the noise on side streets in Dornbirn. The address register of the BEV gives every address, and each address counts once, however many flats it has. The method explains how public transport and noise enter LAGE.
