TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDIES
Transport Impact Studies are required to measure the impact of changes in traffic flows, usually as a result of a new development. We have extensive experience in undertaking Transport Impact Studies of various sizes:
-
Site Traffic Assessments: For small developments
-
Transport Impact Statements: Typically required for small-to-medium sized developments
-
Transport Impact Assessments: Medium-to-large developments
TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT SURVEYS
We have a wide range of transport survey capabilities including:
-
Aerial mapping

Speed surveys

Journey time surveys
-
License plate surveys
-
Queue length surveys
-
Questionnaire surveys
-
Classified traffic counts

Public transport (onboard and occupancy) surveys
-
We have a core team of 35 surveyors, and can provide in excess of +100 surveyors depending on your requirements.
PARKING STUDIES
The mandatory minimum parking requirements imposed by authorities can be excessive in certain cases. Abiding by these requirements can make a development proposal unfeasible. We have an excellent track-record in successfully motivating for parking requirements to be relaxed. We have achieved this for various developments including:
-
Affordable housing
-
Apartment blocks
-
Student accommodation
-
Shopping and retail centres

Using AutoTURN® swept path analysis software (the industry leading field-tested swept path software), we can assist in the planning process and ensure that your development, once implemented, will operate adequately in reality in terms of: Ingress and egress Internal roads Parking and loading areas
