Traffic Studies
Traffic or traffic impact studies determine the best solutions for vehicle traffic, parking and pedestrian traffic for relatively large commercial projects, parks, administrative buildings, industry, schools, hospitals and other complexes that manage substantial traffic.
In recent decades, urban planning and management focused on automobile traffic, which consequently increased demand for and utilization of automobiles. Over time this concept was proven to be jeopardizing the quality of life in cities and the health of their inhabitants.
Currently, there are urban and mobility management studies, associated to the improvement of public and private spaces, aiming for better coordination of traffic needs in cities.
