ASSESSMENT
What is Traffic Impact Analysis?
GENERAL
The scope of work for the conduct of TIA
includes but is not limited to the following:
-Transportation Improvements
-Road Geometry
-Traffic Safety
-Site Circulation and Parking
-Transportation facilities related to public
transport, bicycle and pedestrian
travel
-Transportation Demand Management
-Neighborhood Traffic and Parking
Management
-Funding for countermeasures
Determination of scope of
work
Minimum Study Area
2. Data
Secondary
2. Data
Primary
Network , geometric and traffic
control data within the
influence area including
pedestrian facilities
Existing traffic flow: Traffic flow
volume, OD, directional
movements, speed, parking
inventory, etc.
Predicted traffic: Traffic flow
volume, OD
3. Analysis
Calculate
Required road width and
intersection capacity
-Four-step model
-Analogy method
Required parking facilities
Required loading and unloading
facilities
TRIP GENERATION - It predicts
the number of trips originating
in or destined for a particular traffic
analysis zone. The trip generation
process provides an estimate of the
number of trips that will be generated
due to the new development.
PARKING GENERATION - a
document prepared by the Institute
of Transportation Engineers that
summarizes a collection of parking
demand data observations made all
over the world by land use type.
Parking Generation
provides statistics on the average
peak parking demand, when the
peak demand occurs, range,
4. Recommendations
Compare required vs. existing
(or expanded )
Roadway and intersection
capacity
Parking facilities
Provide remedial measures if
required
Why Required?
New developments
Produce/ attract new traffic
-Production: Residences
-Attraction: Shops, Offices,
Schools,
Hospitals etc. etc.
Changes in traffic pattern
-Mode diversions
- Route diversions
-Peaking time, etc.
Why Required?
Any large land development near
major junctions and/or major
urban arterials requires careful
investigation of the access
facilities to and from adjacent
roadways.
The evaluation of any negative
traffic impacts must be carefully
reviewed and if necessary,
mitigation strategies must be
implemented to ensure trouble
free traffic operations in and
around such a development.
Safe and smooth traffic
operations in and around
commercial developments are
not only essential for the
community at large, but are also
