EEN MODEL VOOR DE BEREKENING VAN MILIEUGUNSTIGE VERKEERSPATRONEN IN STEDELIJKE GEBIEDEN

The environmental impact of traffic flows in urban networks is an increasingly growing problem. In this study possibilities are investigated for modifying route choice of traffic in urban networks in order to meet the standards for noise annoyance and the emission of pollutants. Therefore for each link of the network an environmental capacity is defined, being the minimum capacity of a link resulting from the selected environmental standards. The maximum flow on a link is defined by the minimum of the environmental capacity and the free flow capacity. By assigning the traffic to the network using the equilibrium assignment technique, a desirable pattern of flows is obtained which meets (as far as possible) the environmental standards. In this paper the results of an application of the model are presented using the network of ede/bennekom. (Author/TRRL)
