What this indicator measures

Public-road level crossings listed as in service on the Infrabel network, mapped from official coordinates.

Count of unique Infrabel geoow records assigned to the declared Statbel municipality geometry and rolled up through explicit hierarchy properties. Temporary closures are absent and unassigned points are excluded without nearest-area snapping.

Method and limitations

Method and limitations

No missing value is imputed. Where colour classes are used, their breaks and colours come from the catalogue; source-declared suppression remains missing.

The area mean gives every published geographic area equal weight. It is not weighted by population, exposure or area size.

Infrastructure inventory only: this does not measure rail service, station access, train frequency or accident risk.

Coordinate-derived inventory; zero is valid data and excluded points remain unassigned.

Inventory snapshot at the source data-processing date; it is not a historical flow measure.
