🛑 Facing a Problem with High Trip Generation? You’ve run your numbers.The Trip Generation Estimate is way above what the local road network can handle.Your Traffic Impact Study (TIS) or Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) shows intersections failing, and the city wants costly mitigation. Now what? This is where Travel Demand Management (TDM) can help. You […]
🚦 What Is a Traffic Impact Assessment? A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) — also known in some regions as a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) — is a formal analysis that evaluates how a proposed development or land use change will affect the existing transportation network. It helps local governments determine whether a project will: TIAs
🚗 Why Parking Pricing Is a Powerful Urban Tool In the fight against traffic congestion, air pollution, and poor land use, one of the most overlooked tools in a city’s arsenal is parking pricing. Whether you’re a city planner, transportation engineer, or a concerned citizen, setting the right price for parking can: Let’s look at
In road design, traffic load isn’t just about how many vehicles pass each day — it’s about how much stress those vehicles place on the pavement over time. That’s where ESALs come in. If you’re involved in pavement design, planning, or construction, understanding Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESALs) is essential. This article explains what ESALs
Designing a durable and cost-effective road starts with a strong pavement foundation. In Pakistan, flexible pavement remains the most common choice for urban roads, highways, and access streets. But how do engineers determine the thickness of each pavement layer — from subgrade to asphalt? This article walks you through the basics of flexible pavement design
Whether you’re designing a residential complex, commercial plaza, or a mixed-use development, one of the most critical factors in your site planning process is determining how much parking is required. Miscalculating parking provisions can lead to overcrowded streets, underutilized lots, or regulatory issues with planning authorities. In this guide, we explain how to calculate parking
Synchro, a traffic signal optimization and simulation software by Trafficware (now part of Cubic), is only in right-hand drive (RHD) orientation, so its a common problem for traffic engineers analysing networks in Left hand drive countries, making them default to other software such as SIDRA or Vistro. Why Synchro is Preferred Despite RHD Limitation Synchro
