We know that how we travel impacts on our health. It is not always clear to us which are the greatest hazards to our health, the health implications of our policies or whether the benefits of ‘active travel’ outweigh the risks. This research was commissioned to answer these critical questions.
The Integrated Transport & Health Impact Model(ITHIM) was developed into a bespoke tool for London using Transport for London data. This model enables comparison of the impacts of physical activity, air pollution and injuries on the population of London. A range of different hypothetical scenarios were modelled to indicate the relative harms and benefits of different transport policy options.
This document sets out the main results of this modelling exercise. Details of the methodology are presented at the back.
