Abstract:
Recent decades have shown a large increase in road traffic, which especially
affects the air quality in inner cities. An important air quality parameter
related to road traffic is fine dust or P
M10. Epidemiological
studies have shown causal relationships between the concentration of
PM10 and public health (especially hart and lung diseases). Introduction
of cleaner forms of transport will help to reduce levels of PM10 and so help to improve public health. One way local governments
in the Netherlands can introduce the use of cleaner transport is by
stimulating use of new techniques for public transport and in particular
transport by bus.
This report presents the results
of a joined project of ECN, GG&GD Amsterdam (Municipal Health Service
Amsterdam) and IVV (the Department of infrastructure, traffic and transport
of the city of Amsterdam) aimed at the development of a Traffic Decision
Support System (TDSS). TDSS is an instrument to assist local councils
in the choice of cleaner techniques for transport by bus. It enables
evaluation of the environmental (air quality), epidemiological (public
health) and financial (investments in technology versus savings related
to improved health) impacts of a specified scenario in comparison with
the current situation.
A prototype of TDSS has been developed and tested with four case studies,
also presented in this report.
