Transportation Master Plan

Transportation Master Plan

A transportation master plan is a vital planning process for cities over 100,000 inhabitants. This planning process usually includes the following steps:

• Collection of Existing Data: Collection of data on existing transportation infrastructure, traffic flow, intersection counts, etc.
• Collection of New Data: Collecting data such as current traffic density and population growth.
• Data Analysis and Preparation of Model Inputs: Establishment and calibration of transportation demand forecasting models by analyzing the collected data.
• Establishment and Calibration of Transportation Demand Forecasting Model: Estimating future transportation needs and making plans accordingly.
• Estimated Target Year Inputs (Target Year Projections): Forecasting data such as traffic density, transportation demands for a given target year.
• Creating Alternatives and Testing in the Model: Creating different transportation scenarios and testing these scenarios with simulation on the model.
• Preparation of Transportation Master Plan Report: Presenting all these analyses and planning in a detailed report.
