Traffic Engineering & Transport Planning
Within the Traffic Engineering and Transport Planning field there are a broad range of reports and services needed by private and government organisations. We have prepared a variety of certificates, reports and studies for Traffic Engineering and Transport Planning.
Here at Headway Traffic and Transport, we support our clients by having staff with experience in local, state and private organisations. It is our aim to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients on all projects by:
-
Using our knowledge and experience from working in and with the Government sector.
-
Maintaining our established relationships across the industry with the authorities and other service providers to ensure a holistic approach.
-
Understanding the challenges associated projects can present, and how these may impact desired outcomes.
Feasibility / Transport / Pedestrian / Cyclist Studies
A Feasibility Study reviews the practicality of a proposed change to a traffic and transport network, or an element that impacts traffic and transport. It ensures that prior to the commencement of any planning, the expectations of the community and/or project objectives can be achieved.
Parking Studies
A Parking Study is conducted to identify parking demands and vehicle movement patterns. This information is used to determine strategies that will best deliver the desired outcomes.
Vehicle Access and Car Park Design
Headway Traffic and Transport have designed vehicle access and car park designs for all types of developments including parking feasibility studies that reviewed demand requirements and provided intelligent designs taking into consideration user demands and site characteristics. We have developed designs for single and multi-level parking areas.
We also provide design verification services. In some instances an architect or other consultant may have prepared the parking configuration for a development. We are typically engaged to verify the design to ensure it satisfies the required standards.
Independent Traffic Engineer Review
Headway Traffic and Transport is able to provide review services to ensure that your documentation is prepared in accordance with industry standards and guidelines.
We have provided review services for a variety of situations from interpretation and recommended action of Development Consent Conditions to reviewing access of completed developments.
In all of our experiences, we have found that the sooner we have been engaged for a review, the better the outcome.
Traffic Impact Assessment (TIAs), Traffic Impacts Statements (TISs) and Traffic Studies
A Traffic Impact Assessment is a report that assesses the traffic implications of a proposed development. Each governing authority will have their own conditions and requirements depending on the type of development.
A Traffic Impact Assessment must consider all impacts on traffic, transport, parking, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Intersection and Network Traffic Modelling and Analysis
We regularly complete intersection and network modelling and analysis for a variety of projects including:
-
New developments and land use changes that are considered to have increased traffic demand and therefore additional impact on the local and state road network
-
Where long term traffic changes are being considered to improve intersection or network performance
-
For temporary construction works that involve modifying the road network for long term temporary traffic arrangements
Traffic Engineering Certification
Headway Traffic and Transport have been involved in a number of projects from start to finish providing design and certification services.
We understand projects can change based on unforeseen circumstances which can have an impact on other building and design elements. Based on our experience, it is critical to have our Traffic Engineers available at each stage of the process to provide advice and ensure that your project can be certified at the completion of works.
Intersection Design (Signalised and Non-Signalised)
The design of intersections have a significant impact on the capacity of the intersection and priority and safety of road users. We ensure a holistic approach is taken when designing an intersection, whether it be signalised or non signalised, to ensure optimised functionality and enhanced safety for all road users.
