Expert Engineering Consulting for
Traffic Engineering Services
Traffic engineering and analysis is a pivotal service that informs the design and planning of transport infrastructure. Through comprehensive studies and simulations, including the use of SIDRA modelling, traffic flow and congestion levels are analysed to optimise the performance of road networks.
This data-driven approach allows for the identification of potential bottlenecks and the development of strategies to enhance traffic efficiency and safety. Complementing this is the design management service, which oversees the coordination and integration of various design elements.
This ensures that all aspects of the project are aligned with the overarching objectives and executed within the stipulated timelines and budgets.

Capacity Analysis
Capacity analysis is a critical component of traffic engineering services, focusing on evaluating the ability of a road network to accommodate vehicular demand.
This service involves assessing current and projected traffic volumes to determine whether existing infrastructure can support the anticipated traffic flow. By analysing factors such as lane configurations, signal timings, and road geometry, capacity analysis helps identify potential bottlenecks and suggests improvements to enhance traffic movement.
This analysis is essential for ensuring that road networks operate efficiently and can accommodate growth, thereby reducing congestion and improving travel times for all road users.
Traffic Impact Assessments
Traffic impact assessments are conducted to evaluate the effects of proposed developments on the surrounding road network.
This service involves a comprehensive analysis of how new developments, such as residential complexes or commercial centres, will influence traffic patterns. By examining factors like trip generation, distribution, and assignment, traffic impact assessments provide valuable insights into the potential challenges and opportunities associated with development projects.
These assessments help stakeholders make informed decisions about necessary infrastructure upgrades or modifications to mitigate negative impacts on traffic flow and ensure the development integrates seamlessly with the existing network.
Intersection Analysis and Access Management
Intersection analysis and access management are pivotal in maintaining the safety and efficiency of road networks. Intersection analysis involves examining the performance of intersections to identify issues such as delays, queuing, and safety concerns.
By evaluating factors like signal phasing, sight distances, and turning movements, this service aims to optimise intersection operations.
Access management, on the other hand, focuses on controlling the location, design, and operation of driveways and access points to minimise conflicts and enhance traffic flow.
Together, these services ensure that intersections and access points are designed and managed to support safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Design
Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) design is a specialised service aimed at improving road safety and liveability within local neighbourhoods.
This service involves the development of strategies and measures to address traffic issues in residential areas, such as speeding, cut-through traffic, and pedestrian safety.
LATM design includes the implementation of traffic calming devices, signage, and road markings to create a safer environment for residents. By engaging with the community and considering their needs, LATM design ensures that local streets are designed to prioritise safety and accessibility, contributing to a more pleasant and secure living environment.
Traffic and Car Parking Studies
Traffic and car parking studies are essential for understanding the demand and supply dynamics of parking facilities in urban areas.
These studies analyse parking patterns, occupancy rates, and turnover to identify existing and future parking needs. By evaluating the adequacy of parking provisions and exploring alternative solutions, such as shared parking or demand management strategies, these studies help optimise parking resources.
Additionally, traffic studies assess the movement of vehicles within and around parking facilities to ensure efficient access and circulation.
Together, these studies provide a comprehensive understanding of parking and traffic interactions, facilitating better planning and management of urban spaces.
Swept Path Analysis
Swept path analysis and public realm planning are integral to designing functional and accessible urban environments. Swept path analysis involves simulating the movement of vehicles, particularly large ones, to ensure they can manoeuvre safely within the road network. This analysis helps identify potential conflicts and informs the design of road geometry, intersections, and access points.
