Cover Story: WHO’s Health Economic Assessment Tool for walking and cycling (HEAT) provides a simple way to assess benefits from physical activity, as well as risks from exposure to air pollution and traffic crashes resulting from active travel modes. In addition, the online tool calculates impacts on carbon emissions. HEAT aims at an audience of planners, policymakers and researchers alike who wish to derive ballpark estimates of the impacts of sustainable transport measures and policies, based on simple data inputs, without investing an overwhelming amount of time, and without the requirement of in-depth knowledge of the underlying travel behaviour and health science or impact assessment methodologies. In this issue, we present the methodology and latest developments of the HEAT tool. View this paper.
