The document discusses the development of route planning for soft modes of transport, focusing on creating healthy routes to promote walking and cycling. It highlights the impact of environmental factors, such as noise and air pollution, on public health, particularly for vulnerable populations. The methodology includes various analytical tools and models to identify healthier and less polluted routes between specified points.

Children who walk everyday to school
1.000 meters per day
400 Km per year
Noise above 70 decibels
High concentration of CO, NOx, O3, PM10
There is a strong impact on their health,
typically on respiratory and auditory systems.

Walking and cycling, for leisure and
also for health reasons (fitness
and/or fighting obesity).
The ability to plan and choose
healthy (less polluted) routes,
enhances and maximizes the effects
of this experience.
