Traffic Impact Analysis

Introduction

This GLOMACS Traffic Impact Analysis training course will provide a comprehensive understanding of the overall purpose, benefits, components of a traffic impact analysis, in addition to guidelines and the latest techniques utilized in data preparation and assessment processes.

Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is implemented to assess and evaluate the interaction between existing transport infrastructure and proposed land development projects. Development projects that would generate significant additional traffic require comprehensive Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). Without a clear picture of the type of traffic movements or their scale, timing, and location, there is a high risk of the traffic movements to lead to unforeseen traffic congestion and safety concerns where the development connects to the roadway network. Preparing a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) report is a complex process.

The participants will have a thorough understanding of the gravity of a development project from the transportation perspective and will be able to conduct an in-depth Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA).

This GLOMACS training course will highlight:

• Purpose and the need for a Traffic Impact Analysis
• Overall Traffic Impact Analysis Framework
• Step-by-Step Operational and Safety Analysis
• Data Collection and Processing Tools, Techniques, for Historical Trends and Forecasting

Objectives

By the end of this GLOMACS training course, participants will be able to:

• Develop a solid base of knowledge in traffic impact analysis for types of a development project
• Evaluate the existing traffic and transportation conditions on different scales of networks
• Understand the overall framework of a Traffic Impact Analysis Study
• Identify potential adverse impacts on the current transportation system and to proposed development projects
• Evaluate the traffic conditions in the future year
• Recommend traffic improvement schemes to mitigate any deficiencies identified within the study area

Training Methodology

This GLOMACS Traffic Impact Analysis training course will have topics utilizing a variety of proven adult learning techniques, focused on case studies and best practices.
