Urban Transport, Air Quality & Noise
The Solution from HEAVEN

7 December 2001, Paris

The goal of the HEAVEN project is to assess air and noise pollution from traffic in near-real time. Six major European cities are involved in jointly developing new concepts and tools for local decision makers and traffic planners. The HEAVEN Decision Support System will help to evaluate the effects of local traffic on air and noise. As the prototype is now ready, the HEAVEN project consortium hosted a workshop to discuss the system with potential users.

The workshop provided an opportunity to find out more about the HEAVEN project and for potential users to play a role in the development process. Presentations and discussions included:

  • Prototype of the Decision Support System (DSS);
  • Strategies for implementation of a DSS to validate the impacts of Transport Demand Management Strategies;
  • Integration of different sources of environmental data and traffic related information;
  • Accessibility of this information to different administrative services & the public.

The workshop was attended by more than 100 traffic and environmental specialists and stakeholders coming from all the European Countries. The final Agenda (PDF, 65Kb) and all presentations (in PPT format) are now available (it is recommended to first save the file and then open locally).
