Basic attributes for Next Generation Ben. MAP v Open-Source: Open-source code for developers & free installation for users; allow user to export data set and/or format under open-source environment v User-Friendly: Easy-to-use GUI interface, streamlining operations & reports, batch job capability, and support multi-platform v Computational Efficiency: Enhance Ben. MAP speed via advanced computational and multi-threading technology v Enhanced Visualization & Analysis Capabilities: Develop integrated and standalone GIS functions and other advanced visualization and anlalysis techniques v Audit trail: Enhance the audit trail to allow flexible data inputs and include AQ and benefit mapping and graphical capabilities v Link to RSM & ABACAS: Build an integrated framework for Air Benefit and Control Assessment System (ABACAS) v International Ben. MAP: Serve as an international AQ/health benefit tool and compare AQ/health impacts among countries (e. g. , USA vs. China)
Basic Requirements for Next Generation Ben. MAP Air quality --Import and display air quality estimates from a variety of commonly used photochemical grid and dispersion models in the native format of that model (e. g. net. CDF) and CSV format (RSM output format) --Roll back air quality monitors according to user-specified algorithms (proportional, incremental, quadratic, peak shaving). --Roll back air quality surfaces to reflect attainment with NAAQS design values --Ability to define a new pollutant Health impact estimation --Enable users to program a single pollutant or multi-pollutant health impact function that can be subsequently run in Ben. MAP --2010 U. S. census data and Woods & Poole projections to 2050 --Baseline mortality and morbidity rates --Ability to apply health impact function to a discrete geographic area (e. g. a city) within a national analysis --Ability to assess health impacts by populations stratified by age, income, ethnicity and educational status Aggregation, pooling and valuation --Pool results across studies using a variety of techniques (Random effects, fixed effects, sum, avg. , etc). --Aggregate to user-defined area --Apply income growth adjustment --Select cost year --Estimate change in life years Report --Summarize results in tabular format --Export as. csv or. xlsx file

Framework of Next-Generation Ben. MAP Integrated GIS Develop integrated GIS to display in-step AQ/Benefit data.
Framework of Next-Generation Ben. MAP stand-alone GIS Develop stand-alone GIS to perform advanced analysis of spatially-bound input data (e. g. population, baseline incidence) & results (e. g. estimated health impacts)
Key Technical Issues to be Addressed GIS Visualization Efficiency Enhanced GIS functions Computation Efficiency
Key Technical Issues----Computation Efficiency v. Multi-thread: Multi-threading technology will be used in both Health Impact Functions and Aggregation, Pooling and Valuation (APV) calculations to improve the computational speed when multiple formulas are chosen. Each single computational function will be assigned a independent thread to take advantage of multi-CPU (or cores) power (in most PCs/laptop now). v. Database Optimization: Both database design and access mode will be optimized to enhance the computational efficiency
Key Technical Issues----Enhanced GIS functions v. Open-Source GIS: Develop enhanced and customized GIS functions based on the open-source GIS tool, “Map Window 6”, which will provide significant improvements in GIS V/A functions over Ben. MAP v. 4. 0. v. Spatial Data Analysis: The spatial or gridded AQ/benefit information can be aggregated to selected regions of interest and displayed in various graphical forms (e. g. , bar chart, pie chart, quantity color map, etc. )
Key Technical Issues----GIS Visualization Efficiency v. Background/Asynchronous Multi-Thread: Each thread will be assigned to calculate and analyze spatial field of gridded data input files. The user will experience the speed-up without process interruption since the calculations will be conducted at the “background” mode. v. Direct use of GIS layer structure: The GIS layer files (processed or previously saved) can be directly loaded to the GIS platform after they are built at the background.
