• Gathering relevant data on existing traffic conditions, including traffic volumes, road network characteristics, intersection performance, and public transport services.
• Utilizing realistic survey data conducted during peak hours by experienced surveyors for each site, complemented movement summaries analysis by advanced intersection modelling software. This enables detailed analysis of intersection, network capacity, level of service, performance, and signalized intersection conducted by skilled traffic engineers.
• Evaluating the potential traffic impacts of the development based on the analysis results, considering factors such as parking demand, and pedestrian safety.
• Estimating the number of vehicle trips generated by the proposed development based on factors such as land use, size, and location.
• Assessing the potential for the development to support or benefit from public transport services and infrastructure.
• Analyzing how generated trips will be distributed across the road network, considering factors such as available routes, road capacities, and travel patterns.
• Assessing the impact of the development on nearby intersections, including changes in traffic volumes.
• Evaluating the parking demand generated by the development and assessing the adequacy of proposed parking facilities.
