Environmental analysis of the traffic closure on Piotrowo and Berdychowo streets in Poznań

Abstract

The article deals with the ecological assessment of the potential road investment, which is the closure of Piotrowo and Berdychowo streets within the campus of the Poznań University of Technology. The research was carried out on a simulation model of the city of Poznań with the use of the PTV software. Research has shown that the closure of these streets has virtually no impact on city wide emissions. However, the emissions deterioration takes place on a local scale, i.e. in the vicinity of the campus of the Poznań University of Technology and on most of the streets leading to it.
