Traffic engineering involves the design and configuration of permanent structures, roadways, paths, railways, etc. that are used for moving people and goods. Traffic engineering employs research into traffic demand and trends, and uses modeling and simulations of potential traffic flow and patterns to visualize the effects of different elements and scenarios. By considering multiple sophisticated scenarios, traffic engineering enable infrastructure design that meets transportation needs efficiently and effectively and that allows flexibility for changing needs in the future.
Traffic engineering services include:
- Travel demand forecasting
- Traffic simulation
- Traffic impact studies
- Traffic data collection and analysis
- Preliminary design of traffic infrastructure
- Traffic signal optimization and phase plan revisions
- Intelligent transportation systems
