Microscopic Analysis

Microscopic analysis of transportation systems focuses efforts on the analysis of facility operations that links planning efforts with design efforts. We apply widely accepted-techniques among transportation professionals and are continuously advancing our knowledge of the latest research findings in this subject area. Our microscopic analysis provides technical information to road agencies and guidance on future infrastructure decision-making.

Areas of Practice

• Traffic flow theory
• Interrupted facility operations
• Uninterrupted facility operations
• Traffic Impact analysis
• Transit operations
• Vulnerable road user analysis
• Operational impacts on road safety
• Urban vs. Rural conditions
• Parking studies

Macroscopic Analysis

Macroscopic transportation systems analysis is considered a predictive science that involves the analysis of travel demand forecasting and long term facility planning across all modes. Flowing from our work is an understanding of our client's technical needs and the influences on existing and future policy decision making.

Areas of Practice

• Travel demand & distribution
• Travel route assignment
• Mode-share analysis
• Long-term facility planning
• System-wide facility analysis
• Safety conscious planning
