Proper Data Collection and Analysis
Our comprehensive investigative approach involves collecting a variety of data, such as 24-hour approach volume, turning counts, existing signal equipment inventory, intersection geometry, signal timings, controller settings, crash reports and current driving patterns. Once data is collected, we perform a detailed analysis and offer recommendations for design solutions. In addition, to achieve maximum effectiveness in our design solutions, Cardno TBE takes full advantage of the latest software programs such as TRAFNETSIM, CORSIM, TRANSYT-7F, PASSER II, SYNCHRO, SOAP, HCS, Mathcad and ALADAN.

This combination of investigation and technology allows us to offer complete design solutions, including:
  Compiling traffic reports containing traffic signal warrant analysis, crash analysis,
       delay and speed studies, intersection analyses and origin/destination studies
  Providing meaningful traffic report findings and recommendations for use in
       planning, design and construction for roadways, signalization, signing, pavement
       marking and roadway lighting
  Preparing design and construction plans for signalization of individual intersections
       and groups of interconnected intersections
  Designing steel, cantilevered mast arms or span wire assemblies supported
       by concrete or steel strain poles
  Establishing signing and pavement marking criteria to ensure safety and
       efficiency of vehicle and pedestrian traffic
  Investigating roadway lighting requirements and producing designs to provide
       sufficient lighting to guarantee safety of nighttime drivers and pedestrians
  Developing traffic signal timing plans to deliver optimal throughput and
       progression on major thoroughfares during peak and off-peak times with
       minimum side-street delay
