What are the likely environmental impacts of urban transport policies?
Integration of information sources in a user-friendly way will allow the assessment of the environmental impacts of urban transport policies by urban decision-makers, transport managers and citizens! Objectives HEAVEN is a project that will develop and demonstrate new concepts and tools to allow cities to estimate emissions from traffic in near-real time. This will enhance the identification and evaluation of the best strategies for transport demand management. Ultimately, it will aid in the reduction of air and noise pollution in Europe. The key objective of HEAVEN is to: • Develop a Decision Support System (DSS) which will provide integrated and near real-time information on air and noise pollution and a comprehensive overview of the current transport situation. HEAVEN will: • Assist cities in identifying Traffic Demand Management Strategies which reduce the impact of traffic on the environment; • Develop innovative noise modelling systems in anticipation of the implementation of the
