Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering

Inspire Design & Development Ltd has been providing planning support and design services
since 2004. These services include traffic and transportation consultancy. Most developments
of any reasonable size require a transport assessment. A transport assessment is the study of
the effect of the development upon the transport network.

Works that can be undertaken include:

Transport Assessment / Statement production
Travel Planning
Junction Modelling (priority junction / rounda-
bout / traffic signals and signalised rounda-
bouts)
Parking Assessment
Accessibility Appraisal
Detailed junction design
Detailed traffic signal design and commission-
ing
Development optimisation (identification of
capacity limits of existing junctions to identify
limiting factors)
Feasibility Assessment
Intelligent Transport Systems
Multi Modal Assessments
Liaison and negotiation with highway authorities

From initial feasibility of a site through to the construction of

the infrastructure, Inspire Design & Development Ltd have Above: Example of a gravity model visualisation, showing the likelihood of travel to a site

Travel Plans
Travel Planning is a requirement for the vast majority of planning applica-
tions. Modern society has grown around the car and as a result residen-
tial and work places are often disparate. This leads to a reliance upon the
car and the consequential pollution and congestion issues that arise.
Travel plans are documents that seek to reduce the number of single oc-
cupancy vehicles used to travel to the development.
Travel Planning requires the assessment of: Walking
Public transport services and facilities local to the development

Facilities for walking to the development

Facilities for cycling to the development. Cycling

Measurement of existing performances will be taken as a benchmark to
measure improvement against.
Following this measures will be suggested that promote sustainable trav-
el. An example of these measures could be;

Showering and cycle storage facilities

Bus shelter provision or bus service penetration of the site Buses

Car club establishment (short term car loan for an annual fee)

Cycle Buddy Club (matching up experienced cyclists with beginners)

Walking route improvement (paving / lighting / crossing points etc)

Through site pedestrian routes (Direct routes for pedestrians reducing

Car clubs
walk time)

Car share

Guided Bus

Tram
