Researchers develop a neural network model that allows non-experts to estimate RF electromagnetic field exposure levels in industrial environments. Validated against measurements at three real-world sites, the model's predictions deviated by only an average of 20% from actual measured values.

"Main inputs influencing the exposure levels in the industrial area are the transmit power of the antennas, the density of clutter in the area, the density of transmitters in the area, and the height and location of the transmitters."

"This novel and broadly accessible approach demonstrates that it is possible to reliably estimate exposure levels in realistic environments without having to rely on external experts or on dedicated complex software."
