Traffic Studies

Description of the traffic studies service

Traffic studies are a detailed investigation and accurate analysis of the transportation system in the project area, and they are supported by an extensive collection of data. Traffic studies are used to examine the recurring transportation problem and propose a solution that leads to reducing traffic and congestion in the project area, in the event that 100 or more trips are generated during peak hours.

Scope of work of the traffic studies team

1/ The first stage: Determination of the traffic impact study methodology and how to enter the project:

* A description of the nature of the project, the area of the site and the various activities it includes.

* A plan showing the location of the project in relation to the region, and another plan showing the location of the project in relation to the surrounding main roads.

* A chart showing the main activities and important land uses around the project site.

Determine the project impact area, which includes the elements of the methods to be studied.

Determining the main road links and intersections that fall within the project impact area, at which traffic analysis will be conducted for the current situation and the target year.

Determine the mechanism of access to the site through the existing road network.

* Calculate the trips generated by the project and determine the expected peak hours.

* Public transportation systems surrounding the project.

* A detailed explanation of the methodology that will be followed to conduct the traffic study and the necessary analyzes, mentioning the engineering programs used and their role during the study.

Scope Of Work Of The Traffic Studies Team

2/ The second stage: traffic impact study report:

After the study methodology report is approved by the competent authority, a traffic impact study report will be prepared, which includes the following elements:

* Existing engineering characteristics of road elements located within the project’s impact area.

* For road links, the number of traffic lanes for each direction and right-of-way data is determined, and whether the road is divided by a central island or undivided, and traffic directions on these links with the addition of light images from the site that support this data.

* For intersections, the type of intersection, the number of entrances to its various branches, the type of traffic control (light signal, roundabout, stop sign, etc.), and the times of the signal phases are specified, with the addition of light images from the site that support this data.

* Data of future projects in the study area in coordination with the competent authority.

* Finding trip generation rates and calculating the number of trips entering and leaving the project.

* Traffic volumes on the elements of the road network that fall within the scope of the project’s impact, for the current situation of rush hour, and also for the target year using the traffic model.

Scope of work of the traffic studies team

* Results of traffic analysis of road links and intersections within the impact area for the target year without the traffic burdens of the project.

* The results of the traffic analysis of road links and intersections within the impact area for the target year with the traffic burdens of the project.

* Proposed engineering and traffic improvements to the elements of the road network in the event that future service levels are unacceptable.

* The results of the traffic analysis of road links and intersections within the impact area for the target year with the traffic burdens of the project and with the proposed engineering and traffic improvements, if any.

* Initial designs for proposed improvements.

* Calculating the number of parking lots required by the project and comparing it to the number of parking lots included in the project.

* Corrective measures for the supply of car parks in the event that the value of demand is higher than the value of offer.

* Studying the internal movement in the event that the project is a land plan or if it includes several buildings linked by an internal road network.

Studying the traffic movement and turning maneuvers within the parking floors and at the entrances and exits of the project.

* Studying the entry and exit points to and from the project and verifying that there is no conflict between them, and studying their impact on the surrounding road links.

Studying pedestrian movement and traffic safety within the project.

* The report includes an appendix that presents the outputs of traffic analysis programs for road links and intersections for different scenarios. An electronic copy of the study report and traffic analysis files for road network elements for different analysis cases will be attached to the report.
