Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

StarStarStarStar

ITS refers to the application of advanced technology such as sensors, traffic signals, and information systems to manage and improve transportation systems efficiency and safety.

StarStarStarStar

Bike Lanes

StarStarStarStar

Bike lanes are designated lanes on roads for cyclists, providing a safe space for biking separate from vehicular traffic, encouraging cycling as a mode of transportation.

StarStarStarStar

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)

StarStarStarStar

TOD is a type of urban development that focuses on creating compact, walkable communities centered around high-quality public transit systems, aiming to reduce car dependency.

StarStarStarStar

Road Diet

StarStarStarStar

A road diet involves reducing the number of lanes on a roadway to improve safety and make room for other uses like bike lanes, sidewalks, or landscaping.

StarStarStarStar

Demand Management

StarStarStarStar

Demand management aims to reduce traffic congestion through strategies like congestion pricing, carpooling incentives, and promotion of alternative transportation modes.

StarStarStarStar

Traffic Calming

StarStarStarStar

Traffic calming refers to the design and implementation of measures to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Examples include speed bumps, chicanes, and curb extensions.

StarStarStarStar

Signal Timing Optimization

StarStarStarStar

Signal timing optimization involves adjusting the timing of traffic signals to improve traffic flow, reduce delays, and enhance road safety.

StarStarStarStar

Modal Split

StarStarStarStar

Modal split refers to the percentage distribution of how people travel, such as by car, public transit, bicycle, or walking. It is used to analyze and plan transportation systems.

StarStarStarStar

Pedestrianization

StarStarStarStar

Pedestrianization involves converting streets or areas to pedestrian-only zones, enhancing walkability and safety while potentially reducing vehicle traffic.

StarStarStarStar

Traffic Modeling

StarStarStarStar

Traffic modeling uses mathematical and computational techniques to simulate and predict traffic flow and its impacts on transportation systems.

StarStarStarStar

Traffic Impact Assessments (TIA)

StarStarStarStar

TIA studies analyze the effects that a new development or project would have on the existing transportation system and recommend any necessary mitigation measures.

StarStarStarStar

Car Sharing

StarStarStarStar

Car sharing is a model of car rental where people can rent cars for short periods of time, often by the hour, which can reduce the total number of vehicles on the road.

StarStarStarStar

Roundabouts

StarStarStarStar

A roundabout is a circular intersection design that forces traffic to travel in one direction around a central island. It reduces collision points and can improve traffic flow and safety.

StarStarStarStar

Public Transportation Planning

StarStarStarStar

Public transportation planning involves developing efficient, accessible, and sustainable transit systems such as buses, trains, and subways to reduce reliance on personal vehicles.

StarStarStarStar

Complete Streets

StarStarStarStar

Complete streets are designed to be safe and accessible for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and transit riders, regardless of age or ability.

StarStarStarStar

Parking Management

StarStarStarStar

Parking management seeks to optimize parking availability and usage through measures such as pricing strategies, zoning regulations, and the development of parking structures.
