Transportation Engineering Services: Traffic Engineering, Planning and Analysis

Transportation engineering services support the planning, analysis, design and operation of transportation systems. The exact scope varies by project, client, jurisdiction and stage of development.

Typical work can include traffic counts, speed studies, intersection observations, turning movement data, parking studies and analysis of traffic patterns. Video-based workflows can help organise and review survey data when camera placement and visibility are suitable.

Traffic engineering services may cover intersection analysis, signal timing, capacity and operational studies, queue assessment, corridor analysis and evaluation of alternative operational treatments.

Planning services can include travel demand analysis, network studies, public transport planning, accessibility analysis, land-use and transportation coordination, and scenario evaluation. Larger studies may use network or microsimulation models.

Look for relevant project experience, clear assumptions and deliverables, appropriate software and methods, quality-control procedures, transparent data sources and an explanation of limitations. The right technical method depends on the question being answered.
