Benchmarks

Input

• Traffic intensities for light, medium and heavy traffic. Optionally also bus traffic, as well as the congestion percentages.
• Traffic sector the road belongs to.
• Fuel usage of construction machines, specified per Machine category.
• Amounts per plan category: amount of constructed houses and appartments, amount of constructed office and shops surface, etc. Defined per Plan type.
• NOX and NH3 emissions for the work, living and recreation sectors.
• Calculation year, a value between 2014 and 2030.

Output

• Emissions per building. These are summed up over all input type features for that building: traffic, machinery, amount per plan category and direct emissions. Often a single building has several plan category amounts, some direct emissions and construction machinery fuel usages.
• Grid cells containing the NOX or NH3 pollution based on overlapping Natura 2000 pollution hexagons.
• An array of hexagon values stored in the Aerius Overlay under the NOX and NH3 keys.
