Building vibration from railway traffic is relatively common in Sweden. The vibration causes annoyance and interferes with sleep. Less is known about long term health effects of living in dwellings exposed to vibration, which is why a research project named EpiVib has been started where more than 6000 persons living close to railways have been recruited into a health cohort. Therefore we need to estimate the vibration exposure. However, the number of dwellings makes it difficult to use measurements for all, and limits how much data on geology can be collected. Instead, a semi-empirical model was developed based on 829 measurements in the area and geology data from official maps. The resulting method divides all soil types in the area into three classes and then estimates the vibration for different distances to the railway, and different main layer depths.
