Refined traffic models for the Dullaert neighbourhood
25070
TML is refining the regional traffic model down to neighbourhood level in Dullaert, so that the environmental impact of the extension of the R43 around Eeklo can be accurately and comprehensively assessed.
The planned extension of the Eeklo ring road (R43) requires a thorough environmental impact assessment (EIA). The existing traffic model is not sufficient for the Dullaert neighbourhood: it is too coarse to accurately predict effects such as noise and air quality. That is why TML is refining the model down to neighbourhood level, so that smaller streets and connections are also correctly taken into account.
Thanks to this refinement, traffic intensities and their impact on mobility, noise, air, and health can be estimated much more accurately. We are investigating both the current situation and the future situation with the new ring road and looking at what mitigating measures are possible. This will provide a clear and reliable picture of the effects.
