TRANSCAPE
TRANSCAPE is a collaborative research initiative involving the University of Augsburg, Helmholtz Munich, TUM, and LMU to predict cardiometabolic health and air pollution in future urban transportation landscapes. At its core, Transcape recognizes that people’s actions and mobility behaviors drive the most significant changes in future mobility scenarios. Consequently, two critical elements anchor our exposure assessment approach:
1. Agent-Based Modeling of Human Activities:
Capturing how, when, and where people travel throughout the day, reflecting real-world decision-making and variability in mobility behaviors.
2. Dynamical Air Quality Modeling of TRAP (Traffic-Related Air Pollution):
Representing shifting pollution patterns as future transportation technologies and infrastructures evolve.
The project’s strategy aims to robustly estimate exposure levels, ensuring that health impact predictions remain valid as urban environments and transportation landscapes transform.
