Traffic Projection

Traffic projection ensures that transportation facilities are designed to accommodate realistic future traffic demand. Our traffic projection methodology cross-examines multiple data sources to establish appropriate annual traffic growth rates. We evaluate historical traffic patterns using multiple growth trend models, selected based on observed growth and future expectations for the area. We cross-check these trends against regional travel demand model projections, local and regional growth forecasts. Our systematic approach provides a robust, defensible, and well-documented basis for transportation planning, roadway design, and capacity analysis.
