Traffic engineering is full of nuanced concepts that help us better understand how roadways function under pressure—and one of the most important of these is the Peak Hour Factor (PHF). Whether you’re conducting a Traffic Impact Study (TIA), designing an intersection, or calibrating a simulation model, PHF plays a critical role in capturing the intensity […]
Planning a new residential, commercial, or mixed-use development? One of the most critical steps in understanding its impact on surrounding roads and infrastructure is estimating how many vehicle trips it will generate. Whether you’re preparing a Traffic Impact Study (TIS), Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA), or just doing a preliminary feasibility analysis, getting your trip generation
When planning a new road, street, or highway, one of the most important decisions you’ll face is whether to use flexible or rigid pavement. Each has its advantages, costs, and ideal use cases. Choosing the right type of pavement can save millions in construction and maintenance over the project’s lifecycle. In this post, we break
🚦 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
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
