CITYSIM - VALIDATED ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR SIMULATING URBAN TRAFFIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The paper reports on the "City Simulator Feasibility Study" that was conducted in 1997-98 in Finland. The aim of the study was to analyze possibilities to develop a comprehensive modeling system which can be used in order to evaluate traffic volumes, emissions, atmospheric dispersion and noise within cities. The need for such operative tools is most urgent in developing countries. Cities around the world will have to improve substantially their understanding of the traffic systems and their impacts on the urban environment in the future.
