STATUS : ongoing
LOCATION : Plzen, Czech Republic
TARGET AUDIENCE : Citizens concerned about traffic and air quality around the bridge
CHALLENGE
Due to maintenance activities on the General Patton Bridge, it will have to be closed for a period of 6 weeks. In order to assess impact in the streets around the bridge as well as in the wider area, we want to do a what if analysis to see the impact on traffic and on air. We especially want to check the air pollution changes around schools in the neighbourhood.
APPROACH
The scenario can be tested in the digital twin, and the impact analysis can be done. Later, the results can be published and made visible for the general public.
EXPECTED OUTCOME
A report indicating the impact on traffic and air pollution
Open the case, select the traffic layer.
Then close the block the street on top of the bridge and see the impact on traffic and air. Below image shows the traffic and air pollution that is generated from the rerouted traffic.
