HEAT for walking and cycling is a user-friendly, web-based tool used to estimate the health and economic impacts of increased walking and cycling. In its current version the HEAT tool supports assessments of the health and economic impacts of walking and cycling on premature mortality in an integrated manner through changes in physical activity levels, exposure to air pollution while walking or cycling, and risk of fatal crashes in traffic. In addition, the tool also estimates the impacts on carbon emissions due to shifts between active and motorized travel modes.
