E-cars

Jacobs_university 2

Hi,

I have seen that some models are able to incorporate e-cars, is this an action that has to be pre-made, or is it something built in the program? I see that there are roads for e-cars but cannot manage to find the e-cars themselves.

Thanks.

Hey!

At this time the traffic on specific roads follows a set division of traffic, which we've based on an initial dataset of traffic data. This division is primarily used for the traffic NO2 and traffic noise calculations. As a means of mitigating environmental impact, the Tygron Platform includes a road function which sports only E-cars, for which the traffic noise calculation is performed as normal but for which the NO2 emissions are reduced to 0. Other than replacing a regular road with an E-cars road, there are no ways to affect the traffic division.

To use this functionality, investigate either creating your own upgrade type to replace an existing road with a new one:

An upgrade is an improvement to, or replacement with, a(n often better) variant of the entity being upgraded. For example: a computer can be upgraded by replacing components with newer and better components.

Or using a demolition action and a construction action to remove an existing road and create a new one in its place:

Actions - Tygron Support wiki

An action is an activity a stakeholder can perform to achieve their objective. A typical example of an action would be a housing corporation constructing social housing, or a water board realizing open water.
