- Evaluation and optimization of parking lot design and internal circulation
- SWEPT PATH analysis to assess the suitability of existing layouts for accommodating turning movements of heavy vehicles
SYNOPSIS
DC Transportation GDC specializes in developing strategic transport models using industry-leading tools such as SATURN, VISUM, and EMME for both small and large-scale networks. Our expert team creates base-year strategic models and ensures they are calibrated and validated according to WebTAG and other industry-standard guidelines.
These models are designed to forecast future traffic patterns on the network effectively. We also have the capability to perform variable demand modeling (DIADEM) to capture the effects of mode choice and trip distribution, as well as evaluate elasticities within the model.
Key Expertise:
- Development and application of strategic models using SATURN and VISUM
- Base-year model development with calibration and validation to WebTAG guidelines
- Forecast models aligned with TEMPRO growth factors
- Variable demand modeling with DIADEM, capturing mode and choice responses
SYNOPSIS
When a development is expected to have a significant impact on the surrounding road network, Transport Authorities may require a detailed Capacity Assessment to evaluate its effects on traffic flow and junction performance. These assessments are critical for ensuring that infrastructure can accommodate increased demand without compromising safety or efficiency.
DC Transportation GDC’s expert team employs advanced, industry-standard software to deliver accurate and reliable junction modeling:
- Junctions 9 PICADY Module (TRL): For major/minor priority junctions.
- Junctions 9 ARCADY Module (TRL) or SIDRA: For non-signalized roundabouts.
- LINSIG (JCT), TRANSYT (TRL), or SYNCHRO (Trafficware): For isolated or linked signalized junctions, signalized roundabouts, and small networks.
- Highway Capacity Software (HCS): For analyzing freeways, mainlines, ramp merges, and diverge areas.
SYNOPSIS
DC Transportation GDC’s team utilizes industry-standard techniques to develop advanced micro-simulation models using VISSIM, PARAMICS, and AIMSUN. These models are instrumental in visually demonstrating the effectiveness of transport improvements to local and regional authorities. They can simulate almost any highway network, including priority junctions, signalized intersections, roundabouts, and real-time traffic management scenarios or development site access strategies.
The outputs from these models include traditional metrics such as queue lengths and delays, as well as real-time 3D animated videos. These animations provide an engaging and convenient way to showcase the future operation of road networks at planning committees and public consultations, ensuring clear communication of project benefits.
Our Expertise Includes:
- Development and application of micro-simulation models in VISSIM, PARAMICS, and AIMSUN
- Base model development
- Calibration and validation of journey times and queues
- Forecast model creation
- Creation of 3D animated videos for impactful presentations
SYNOPSIS
DC Transportation GDC is a registered subscriber to the Trip Rate Information Computer System (TRICS), a leading database for trip generation analysis. Our highly qualified team leverages this tool to provide accurate and reliable calculations required for Transport Statements and Transport Assessments, ensuring compliance with planning guidelines. Whether you need to estimate the trip generation potential of a proposed development or analyze traffic impacts, we can provide expert assistance.
Our services include:
- Estimation of Development-Related Trips: Using the TRICS database to calculate trip generation potential for proposed developments.
- Passer-By and Diverted Trip Computations: Accurate analysis for clustered land uses to determine trip impacts.
- Trip Generation Interpretation and Reporting: Comprehensive preparation of Transport Statements and Assessments to support development proposals.
SYNOPSIS
Maximizing the potential of a transport system requires a thorough understanding of both strategic objectives and technical details, particularly the spectrum of benefits and costs that arise from investments and initiatives.
If you are planning an economic appraisal for a scheme improvement or seeking to compare the benefits of various transport improvement options, DC Transportation GDC can assist. Our highly skilled team brings extensive expertise in travel forecasting and transport economics to help you develop business case documents such as Scheme Appraisal Reports (SAR) and Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) documents.
We utilize a range of advanced economic appraisal tools to deliver comprehensive insights:
- Transport Users Benefit Assessment (TUBA): Evaluate user benefits.
- Accident Benefits (COBALT): Analyze safety improvements.
- Queues and Delays (QUADRO): Assess impacts of roadworks.
- Journey Time Reliability Impacts (MYRIAD): Measure reliability benefits.
- Wider Economic Benefits (WEBs): Quantify broader economic impacts.
- Social and Distributional Impacts (SDIs): Evaluate equity and accessibility outcomes.
SYNOPSIS
Prepared in accordance with relevant planning practice guidance and tailored to meet client-specific requirements, DC Transportation GDC offers comprehensive assessments of the highways and transport implications of development proposals.
