TRAFFIC ENGINEERING

Many of today’s traffic engineering projects are complex and difficult to fit within the urban fabric. SSC’s team includes hundreds of transportation planners, engineers, and technicians with experience on some of the world’s most iconic projects.

SSC has extensive experience in developing and calibrating traffic models for travel demand forecasting. We complete meso- and micro-simulation of travel demands using state-of-the-art modelling software including VISSIM and AIMSUN. These models allow for dynamic and realistic assessment of the transportation network to ensure that all potential impacts and infrastructure requirements are identified.

Our services include:

  • Traffic impact studies
  • Parking assessment and design
  • Site planning for vehicle, pedestrian and cycling routes and infrastructure (active transportation)
  • Loading and servicing vehicle assessment and design
  • Travel demand forecasting and analysis
  • Traffic operations assessment and modelling
  • Conceptual, functional, and detailed design of roads and transitways
  • Environmental assessments
  • Public consultation

TRANSPORT MODELLING

SSC has years of experience completing comprehensive transportation studies, mobility plans, and integrated mobility plans for projects of various sizes and complexities. Under travel demand modelling, models such as trip generation, trip distribution, mode-choice and assignment models are calibrated, validated, and revalidated by making use of primary and secondary data for the base year. Our travel demand models are used to assess the immediate and short to long-term travel demand and transport network.

TRANSPORT STUDIES AND MASTER PLANS

SSC has completed numerous of transportation studies for private and public sector clients. Our engineers have vast experience in designing to optimize space on site, particularly in small, compact sites including downtown urban areas, and know where to look for parking reduction opportunities through shared-parking, off-site parking, or Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures.

Developing livable and efficient communities begins with the master planning process, which is a vital step in understanding the required infrastructure to support a vision and plan for sustainable transportation networks over the long-term. The master planning process often follows a comprehensive assessment of transportation demand forecasting and land use planning. Through these assessments, and the master planning process, we gain a better understanding of areas transportation and infrastructure needs including when solutions are required by, and how they will be implemented. Each master plan is unique and is developed around a specific vision or based on something preexisting.

SSC has extensive expertise in the master planning process, having successfully delivered numerous master planning projects that support a variety of goals and objectives.
