Models & Tools used for monitoring Pilot 'cut' Weesperstraat

This collection provides an overview of the models and instruments used for the monitoring and evaluation of the Pilot Knip Weesperstraat. The monitoring consists of four parts that focus on the traffic-related effects. More information about the relevant models in the articles.

(1) Traffic intensity and flow of motorized traffic.
For this purpose, the travel times of routes, users and target groups, origin and destinations and car intensities are measured. This is done via ANPR cameras (number plate recognition) and data from TomTom, RDW and parking permits. As with research at De Munt (see article), privacy is guaranteed.
(2) Air quality, quality of life and noise.
NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), particulate matter, soot and noise are measured for this purpose. This is done via the Urban Strategy Tool (UST), Traffic Model Aamsterdam (VMA), CIMLK monitoring tool and GGD palmes tubes. A perception survey is also being carried out on the quality of life.
(3) Road safety.
The number of traffic accidents within the area of influence in which traffic is most significant
changes take place before and during.
monitored the pilot
(4) Public transport driving times.
The GVB provides an overview of the profit and loss times of public transport. The Amsterdam Transport Region provides data on the flow of regional bus lines that use the IJ tunnel.

The evaluation period runs until December 2023 and will answer (among others) the following questions:
• Where did the motorized traffic go that no longer drove through the Weesperstraat?
• What were the consequences of the relocation and motorized traffic?
• Are there bottlenecks and, if so, where? Are these solvable?
• How does the cut fit into all low-traffic measures?
• How do residents, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders have benefited from the Weesperstraat pilot
experienced? And how do they assess the effects on quality of life?
• What are the effects on public transport?
• What are the effects on slow traffic?
