GIS-Integration of IMMIS - IMMISarc

IMMISarc integrates for modeling air pollution in street canyons the screening model IMMISluft(air) and for modeling noise pollution the model IMMISlärm(noise) as an ArcViewTM-Extension. IMMISarc will be installed as an extension to ArcView. The computing core is loaded from IMMISluft/lärm as a dynamic run time library (DLL). An appropriate IMMISluft/lärm menu will be set up in ArcView when opening a "view". The menu provides direct access to the complete functionality of IMMISluft/lärm within ArcView.

The attribute data of an individual street segment, necessary for the calculation of the emissions and concentrations induced by traffic, will be stored as attributes of a "shapefile" in a dBase-file. The format of the dBase file exactly corresponds to the format, that is required by IMMISluft/lärm. Thus, a data base created and processed using IMMISarc may directly processed within IMMISluft.
IMMISarc creates IMMIS projects corresponding to the project files of IMMISluft/lärm. Thus, the user may process the projects either within IMMISluft/lärm or within ArcView. The user won't have to sustain any redundant data, since all data are stored in a compatible data format.

The street network is the geographical basis. It may be digitized using raster images. In addition yet available themes with street features may be used. The user may enter necessary parameters and file paths for IMMISluft/lärm calculations by user friendly input dialogs.
