Several health impact modelling techniques have been created in response to the requirement to link changes in the built environment and transportation system operations to health outcomes. These tools provide results in terms of health impact measures like mortality, morbidity, and years of life with a disability adjusted for disability; in certain cases, they also provide economic metrics like willingness to pay and the monetary cost of health outcomes (such as mortality decreases). These models rarely and never take equality into consideration, according to an assessment of them. Many of them simply concentrate on evaluating the effects of one of these aspects or are only able to evaluate changes connected to specific modes, such as walking and bike projects. Additionally, there are limitations in area resolution and considerable calibration efforts needed. In order to understand the health implications of projects, plans, and policies, involve the affected populations, and inform decisionmaking toward health-improving policies, plans, and projects, health impact assessment (HIA) studies use a variety of models, tools, and other qualitative and quantitative techniques.
