Traffic Analysis

An effective traffic study combines solid analysis with effective stakeholder communications. It requires understanding client goals and agency requirements, effective working relationships, and the appropriate use of analysis and presentation technologies.

For site development projects, The Transpo Group provides feasibility studies and traffic impact studies for Environmental Checklists or more comprehensive SEPA/NEPA Environmental Impact Statements. These studies are designed to pass the scrutiny of agency review staff, private developers, and public decision makers, and bring clarity to the general public.

When the goal is to improve traffic flow, the techniques change, but the approach is the same. We use a variety of cutting-edge tools and specialized traffic simulation modeling for special events, transit signal priority, rail and light rail systems, transit centers, park-and-ride facilities, and HOV systems. From simple intersections to congested arterial corridors, to complex freeway interchanges, to downtown transportation grid systems, appropriate tools are applied in order to generate customized solutions. Our graphic illustrations and traffic simulations communicate complex traffic issues and options.
