Environmental impact calculation and emissions calculation

The Visum add-on module PrT noise and pollutant emissions is used to calculate the environmental impact (noise and pollutant emissions) caused by motorized private transport. Three procedures for calculating environmental impact are available:

Calculation of the length-based acoustic power level according to RLS-19 (Using Visum: Calculating noise volumes).

Calculation of noise emission levels in accordance with Nordic Council of Ministers (1996) (Using Visum: Calculating noise volumes).

Calculation of air pollution emissions in accordance with emission factors of the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) (Using Visum: Calculating air pollution emissions).

The Visum add-on module HBEFA and COPERT allows you to calculate emission values in Visum by link, territory, or network-wide.
