==What is the Traffic NO2 Overlay?==
The Traffic NO2 Overlay is a [[Grid Overlay]] which computes the impact of traffic air pollution (in μg/m³ NO2) for any given location in the [[project]]. The calculation takes into account the amount of traffic per [[type]] and the distance from the source of emission. It also takes into account [[Building|object]]s and [[Elevation model|terrain features]] which would hinder the travel of particles.


The Traffic NO2 Overlay is an [[Grid overlay|overlay]] which displays the impact of traffic air polution (in &mu;g/m&sup3; NO2) in different colors for the project area. These colors indicate traffic air polution of a location based on [[Traffic Flow (Overlay)|traffic flow]] and distance.<br>
The Overlay only takes into account NO2 emissions from traffic. Other sources of emissions (such as air traffic of factories) are explicitly excluded.
It becomes available for all stakeholders when added to a project.


==Calculations==
The Overlay implements SRM1{{ref|srm1}}, which is only applicable for urban environments.
The calculations follow the standard rekenmethode 1 (SRM 1), as described on [http://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0022817/2013-03-22]:

Traffic NO2 Overlay

The Traffic NO2 Overlay is a Grid Overlay which computes the impact of traffic air pollution (in μg/m³ NO2) for any given location in the project. The calculation takes into account the amount of traffic per type and the distance from the source of emission. It also takes into account objects and terrain features which would hinder the travel of particles.

The Overlay only takes into account NO2 emissions from traffic. Other sources of emissions (such as air traffic of factories) are explicitly excluded.

The Overlay implements SRM1[1], which is only applicable for urban environments.

Traffic NO2 Model

Configuration

Main article: Model attributes (Traffic NO2 Overlay)

The Traffic NO2 Overlay has a number of options which allow it to be configured as desired. A configuration wizard is available.

The following aspects can be configured:

  • Base concentrations of NO2 and NOx
  • Emissions per vehicle type both in motion and in traffic jam
  • Constants for road-based dilution factors
  • The hour(s) of the day to perform the calculation for

Traffic

Traffic intensities for each type of traffic can be based on one of the following:

The traffic intensities can be defined as either a single value or as 24 hours, with each value corresponding to each hour of the day. The intensity used for the calculation is then defined by the HOURS model Attribute.

Calculation

Main article: Traffic NO2 formula (Traffic NO2 Overlay)

The Traffic NO2 Overlay performs its calculations based on the Overlay's Attributes, the presence of trees, and the Attributes of roads present in the project. The calculations follow the standard rekenmethode 1 (SRM 1)[1].

Results

The following result types are available as output from the traffic NO2 calculations:

Icon Result type Unit Mode Description
CONCENTRATION μg/m3 The concentration of NO2-equivalent pollution as a result of traffic.
EMISSION_NO2 μg/m3 The calculated emissions of NO2 due to traffic.
EMISSION_NOX μg/m3 The calculated emissions of NOX due to traffic.
TREEFACTOR factor The presence of trees (within 30 meters) as a fraction and converted to a factor between 1 and 1.5.
TREES boolean The presence of trees in any given location specifically.

Notes

  • The Overlay calculations are based on Standard Calculation Method 1 (SRM1) as defined by the dutch government.[1].
