Objective
Environmental impacts of traffic are of major concern throughout many European metropolitan areas. There is a lack of comprehensive and fast tools to estimate the level of pollution in respect of varying traffic flow conditions to optimise remedial measures. Within the project such a tool will be developed and applied at four test sites.
An existing traffic flow model will be parallized to reduce computational burdens. The system will be coupled with an existing air pollution model on a Geographical Information System environment. The integrated simulation tool is meant as an optimisation and decision support tool for transport planners and traffic engineers.
The decision support system will be applied in the metropolitan areas of Berlin, Milano and Vienna as well as on the motorway network of the Randstad area. Various traffic control strategies and the impact on traffic flow and pollution will be tested. The test sites will function as demonstration cases for further exploitation of the developed decision support system called SIMTRAP.
