UrbanTrans’ Traffic Engineering services are focused on enhancing road safety, improving traffic flow, and supporting sustainable urban development. We use state-of-the-art technology and in-depth analysis to provide tailored solutions that meet the needs of both the public and private sectors.
Our Traffic Impact Studies (TIS) are designed to assess the impact of proposed developments on the surrounding transportation network. Through comprehensive data collection and advanced modeling techniques, we evaluate key factors such as traffic volume, roadway capacity, pedestrian activity, and overall level of service. Our studies identify potential issues, such as congestion or safety concerns, and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate these effects. This ensures that new developments integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, while also supporting the client’s development goals and adhering to local regulatory requirements.
Parking is a critical aspect of urban planning, and our Parking Justification Studies provide in-depth analysis to determine the optimal parking solutions for your development. We examine factors such as land use, projected parking demand, and existing parking supply to develop strategies that maximize space utilization. Our studies not only ensure compliance with local parking regulations but also enhance accessibility, reduce congestion, and improve the overall user experience. Whether you’re dealing with a residential, commercial, or mixed-use development, our expertise helps you strike the right balance between parking needs and space efficiency.
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is essential for reducing traffic congestion and promoting sustainable travel options. Our TDM services involve the development of tailored plans that encourage alternative modes of transportation, such as public transit, carpooling, biking, and walking. We work with clients to implement measures like transit incentives, bike-sharing programs, and carpooling initiatives that reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. By focusing on sustainable solutions, we help create transportation systems that are not only efficient but also environmentally responsible and aligned with community needs.
Efficient loading zones and on-site circulation are vital for the smooth operation of any development. Utilizing advanced software like AutoTURN, our Loading and On-site Circulation Review assesses vehicle movements, turning radii, and loading bay configurations. We provide detailed recommendations to optimize internal traffic flow, enhance safety, and ensure that all vehicles, from passenger cars to large delivery trucks, can navigate the site with ease. Our analysis helps prevent congestion, reduce potential conflicts, and improve the overall functionality of the site.
Safety is a cornerstone of effective traffic engineering. Our Collision and Sight Line Analysis services focus on identifying and mitigating potential hazards that could lead to accidents. We conduct thorough evaluations of intersections, road segments, and pedestrian crossings, analyzing sight lines, signage, and traffic control devices. By pinpointing areas where collisions are more likely to occur, we develop targeted strategies to enhance visibility, improve signage, and reduce the risk of accidents, thereby creating a safer environment for all road users.
Ensuring the safety of both drivers and pedestrians is a top priority in urban planning. Our Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Reviews/Audits involve a comprehensive examination of roadway designs, traffic control measures, and pedestrian facilities. We identify potential safety hazards and recommend improvements, such as better crosswalks, adjusted signal timings, and enhanced signage. By implementing these measures, we help create transportation networks that prioritize safety and reduce the likelihood of accidents, benefiting the entire community.
Speeding and unsafe driving behaviors can negatively impact the quality of life in residential areas. Our Traffic Calming Studies offer solutions to manage traffic speeds and enhance neighborhood safety. We assess road geometry, traffic volumes, and community feedback to develop calming strategies, such as speed humps, roundabouts, traffic islands, and strategic signage. These measures not only reduce vehicle speeds but also improve safety and comfort for pedestrians, cyclists, and local residents.
Navigating the complexities of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) demands specialized knowledge and a strong evidentiary foundation. Our team provides expert testimony on transportation-related issues, encompassing traffic impact assessments, safety evaluations, and planning disputes. With comprehensive regulatory insight and technical proficiency in Traffic & Transportation, Civil, and Environmental Engineering, we deliver clear, well-supported evidence that strengthens our clients’ cases and helps secure favorable results.
