Traffic Impact Study

TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY

The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) is used to demonstrate how the transportation impact of a proposed development or redevelopment can be mitigated. The TIS also serves as the basis for the identification and evaluation of transportation related improvements or measures to be included as a condition of access approval for development or redevelopment.

Normally, authorities would require to review a traffic impact assessment and road traffic impact analysis for the site plan approval. Our work includes: Pre-Consultation with the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ), submitting terms of reference to AHJ, analyzing the existing condition, future background condition, forecast-trip generation, distribution and assignment, future total condition, recommending traffic improvements or mitigation measures.

The traffic engineering experts at n Engineering Inc. implements these required studies needed for traffic management solutions essential for any developmental project while in parallel adhering to standards and methodologies established by the municipalities and by the Ministry of Transportation.

The Traffic Impact Study (TIS) serves as a cornerstone in the development and redevelopment process, offering invaluable insights into how transportation impacts can be effectively mitigated. At its core, the Traffic Impact Study TIS provides a comprehensive analysis of the transportation implications associated with a proposed development or redevelopment project. It not only assesses the existing transportation infrastructure but also forecasts the future traffic conditions, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions that optimize traffic flow and enhance overall safety.

Central to the Traffic Impact Study is its role in identifying and evaluating transportation-related improvements or measures that may be necessary to accommodate the anticipated increase in traffic volume resulting from the proposed development. These improvements or measures are often mandated as conditions of access approval for the development or redevelopment project. By addressing potential transportation challenges proactively, the Traffic Impact Study facilitates the seamless integration of new developments into existing transportation networks, minimizing disruptions and maximizing efficiency.

When it comes to navigating the intricacies of the Traffic Impact Study process, stakeholders often rely on the expertise of traffic engineers to guide them through the various stages. At n Engineering Inc., we specialize in providing comprehensive traffic design services tailored to the unique needs of each project. Our approach begins with pre-consultation with the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), where we establish clear lines of communication and ensure alignment with regulatory requirements.

Once the scope of the Traffic Impact Study is defined, our team submits terms of reference to the AHJ, outlining the parameters and objectives of the study. This lays the groundwork for the subsequent analysis, which encompasses a thorough examination of the existing transportation infrastructure, as well as a projection of future background conditions and trip generation patterns. Through advanced modeling techniques, we forecast trip distribution and assignment, providing valuable insights into the potential impact on traffic flow and congestion levels.

Based on our analysis, we then develop a comprehensive set of recommendations for traffic improvements or mitigation measures. These recommendations are rooted in a deep understanding of local regulations and standards, as well as methodologies established by municipal authorities and the Ministry of Transportation. Our goal is to propose solutions that not only address immediate transportation challenges but also contribute to the long-term sustainability and resilience of the transportation network.
