Traffic & Transport Analysis
Practical Transport Analysis for Development and Infrastructure Projects
Engineering Outcomes provides detailed traffic and transport analysis services that help clients understand transport performance, safety, accessibility, and operational impacts across a wide range of projects.
Our assessments support resource consent applications, infrastructure planning, road safety improvements, and transport decision-making throughout Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, and the eastern Bay of Plenty.
We combine technical expertise with practical analysis to deliver clear recommendations and realistic transport solutions.
Our Traffic & Transport Analysis Services
Intersection Safety Analysis
We assess existing and proposed intersections to identify safety concerns, operational issues, and opportunities for improvement.
This may include:
- Crash risk assessment
- Conflict analysis
- Sight distance review
- Road user safety considerations
- Access arrangement evaluation
Intersection Capacity Analysis
Intersection capacity analysis helps determine how intersections are likely to perform under existing and future traffic conditions.
We assess:
- Queue lengths
- Delays
- Level of service
- Network efficiency
- Development traffic impacts
Congestion Reduction & Traffic Management
We assist with identifying congestion issues and developing practical solutions to improve traffic flow and network efficiency.
This may involve:
- Traffic redistribution
- Intersection improvements
- Access management
- Parking management – offroad capacity and/or onroad bans
- Opportunities for shifts to modes that reduce congestion
Access Crossing Assessments
Safe property access is essential for both developments and existing sites. Council and NZTA standards for this are rather arbitrary and often need evaluation from first-principles.
We typically assess:
- Visibility and sight distances
- Turning movements and associated treatments
- Capacity
- Gradients and crossover or breakover angles
- Pedestrian conflicts
Trip Generation Estimation
We estimate likely traffic generation associated with proposed developments and land-use activities.
This helps determine:
- Peak traffic demand
- Origins and destinations
- Potential effects on the existing transport
Under-Width Access Assessments
We provide assessments for narrow or constrained accessways to determine whether safe and practical vehicle access can be achieved.
Sight Distance Assessments
Sight distance assessments help determine whether drivers have adequate visibility for safe movement at intersections, driveways, and access crossings.
Parking Demand Estimation
We assess parking requirements for developments and facilities to help ensure parking provision is practical, efficient, and compliant with planning requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is intersection capacity analysis?
Intersection capacity analysis assesses how efficiently an intersection operates under current and future traffic conditions and, especially whether a development might create or significantly exacerbate congestion.
Why is trip generation important?
Trip generation estimates help determine how much traffic a proposed development may create and whether transport upgrades or mitigation measures may be required.
What is a sight distance assessment?
A sight distance assessment evaluates whether drivers have adequate visibility for safe vehicle movements at an access or intersection.
Can you assist with congestion issues?
Yes. We provide traffic analysis and practical recommendations aimed at improving traffic flow and reducing congestion impacts.
What regions do you service?
We provide traffic and transport analysis services throughout Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, and the eastern Bay of Plenty.
