Montreal April 4-7, 2017
Introduction
Urban Strategy Tool (UST) originated in collaboration between research organization TNO and ARCADIS
UST facilitates easy access to models of urbanized areas.

Why an integrated interactive urban planning tool?
Ever growing need for integral views on city development projects, which is complex and time consuming
oStrategic urban (mobility) planning
oEnvironmental impact analysis
o Integral urban development and redevelopment
oUrban hotspot issues
Growing availability of city data for use in complex integral issues
Integrated view from the start
oParameters in time and space
oSimultaneous parameters
oUse of verified models
25-50% faster in time and effort needed by
avoiding numerous processing sequences
Instant re-use, new models, new inputs
Allows for realtime cross domain teamwork
Trends Benefits

Integral, shareable view on interrelated effects
2D and 3D view of effects of urban design choices
Analyses results in days instead of weeks
Allows for cross domain expertises to work in sync
New models, inputs can be easily added
More simulation runs in the same timeframe
Once in the system, all data can be re-used easily
Instant insight for all aspects at the same time

NOC (North East Corridor)
• Improve the accessibility in the Eindhoven-Helmond-Veghel region.
• The aim was to stay an attractive working and living environment with acceptable travel times.
• An Environmental Impact Assessment has been drafted, including stakeholder consultation.
• Urban StrategyTM was used for the Noise, Air and Health calculations.
Project example
Project description

Decision making in the NOC is challenging due to a number of factors: a large study area, many different designs and highly involved residents.
Some figures:
• Length of the study area: 90 km
• Design alternatives examined: 25
• Residents involved: 150,000

What did we do?
Project example
NOC (North East Corridor)
© Arcadis 2017
• Fast integrated approach, taking into account the interrelationships between topics
• Easy comparison of multiple scenario’s and designs, which allows for a larger number of scenario’s or larger study area
• Interactive sessions with stakeholders to stimulate participation and create support
• Visualization in 3D and in diagrams (tables)
• Data is easy interchangeable with GIS for further analyses or with other noise and air software
