Service: Transport Modelling

Transport modelling is a core part of our transportation business. We develop and deliver transport and traffic models to assess the impact of proposed developments and transport schemes, and support the investment decision making process throughout the project lifecycle.

Modelling tools utilised include:

  • Junction modelling using:
    • ARCADY & PICADY isolated roundabout & priority junction modelling to predict capacities, queues, delays and accidents
    • LinSig & TRANSYT – macroscopic design and assessment tool for various signalised junctions and intersections
  • Micro-simulation modelling using PTV VISSIM multi-modal traffic flow simulation network software
  • Regional and local area modelling using SATURN (including use of the NTA’s Regional Modelling System) – strategic traffic simulation and assignment modelling software to assess wider network impacts
  • Variable demand modelling using CUBE and EMME2 platforms
  • Bespoke modelling using MS Excel and other platforms
