Traffic NO2 Overlay
What is the Traffic NO2 overlay?
The Traffic NO2 overlay is an Overlay which displays the impact of traffic air polution (in μg/m³ nitrogen dioxide) in different colors for the project area. These colors indicate traffic air polution of a location based on traffic flow and distance.

Calculations
The calculations follow the standard rekenmethode 1 (SRM 1), as described on [1]:
Cjm = Ca,jm + Cb,jm
where:
- Cjm = yearly average concentration [μg/m3]
- Ca,jm = yearly average background-concentration (default = 0 [μg/m3], can be adjusted via the overlay attributes)
- Cb,jm = yearly average traffic contribution to NO2 concentration [μg/m3]
Cb,jm[NO2] = fno2 * Cb,jm[NOx] + (B*Ca,jm[O3]*Cb,jm[NOx]*(1-fNO2))/(Cb,jm[NOx]*(1-Fno2)+K)
where:
- Cb,jm[NO2] =
