Description
Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) is a systematic and scientific study to analyze the impact of the traffic generated by a new development on the surrounding transportation system. A TIA is generally required to support the transportation aspects of a proposed development that has the potential to generate significant amounts of pedestrians, bicycle trips, transit users, and vehicular traffic.
The submission of TIA is a mandatory requirement by the local authorities in Canada before a development could be considered for approval. TIA is undertaken mainly to ensure that the developer address all relevant transportation issues related to the new development. The TIA provides authorities, planners and developers a framework in making critical planning decisions regarding transportation issues; thus ensuring that new developments are planned and developed in a controlled manner.
A TIA comprises of thorough understanding of study area where the new development is proposed, study of existing land uses and back ground traffic volumes, trip generation, distribution and assignment, transportation assessments and development of solutions and recommendations to mitigate the negative impacts.
Objectives
- The scope of a TIA and when a TIA is required
- Process and procedures of TIA
- Analytical and traffic theories related to TIA
- Transportation assessment principles and procedures
- Development of necessary solutions and recommendations
- An introduction to a software commonly used for TIA analysis
- Provide hands on experience with traffic impact assessment with the help of case studies
Target Audience
- Traffic engineers
- Urban/Transportation planners
- Local Municipality/Government Employees
- Students of Engineering and Urban Planning
- Graduates who are interested in pursuing their career as planners
- Urban land/property developers
- Architects
- Environmental Impact Assessment consultants
Program Outline (12 PDHs / 1.2 CEUs)
Module 1: Introduction
- Introduction to the TIA, objectives, and scope of TIA
- Introduction to Transportation and land use planning
- Brief discussion on analytical and traffic theories related to TIA
Module 2: Methodology
- Review of the study area, existing road network, background traffic volumes and other developments planned in the study area.
- Understanding of characteristics of the proposed development
- Travel demand modeling process to estimate the magnitude and characteristics of traffic generated by the proposed development
Module 3: Analysis, Results and Recommendations
- Transportation assessments such as traffic signal warrants analysis, geometric design analysis, capacity analysis, lighting warrants analysis, pedestrian and bicycle circulation and transit impact analysis
- Development of solutions and recommends to mitigate any unacceptable impacts
- Introduction to Synchro, the software widely used in North America for signal timings and analysis
Module 4: Case Studies
- Two case studies will be presented to provide better understanding of the TIA process
- Working examples provide hands on experience with the preparation of a TIA
After Attending This Course You Will Be Able To:
- Understand the fundamentals of a TIA
- Able to develop/review/evaluate a TIA
- Learn traffic signal timing and analysis using Synchro software
Special Features
- You will receive comprehensive course notes that will serve for future use; and several reports and guides useful for transportation assessments.
- You will also receive training on one of the top commercial software used in North America for the traffic signal timings.
- You will receive a limited edition of Synchro software
 InstructorDr. Sandeep Datla, P.Eng., is currently working with the City of Edmonton as a Senior Engineer, with over 9 years of experience in transportation planning. Major projects handled by Dr. Datla recently include: LRT planning for the City of Edmonton, Traffic impact analysis of major roadway improvements, development and validation regional transportation planning model for the City of Edmonton, and providing model inputs for numerous Traffic Impact Assessment studies.
Dr. Datla also holds Adjunct professor position with University of Regina. Dr. Datla taught several graduate level engineering classes at the University of Regina.
Dr. Datla has published five Journal papers in highly refereed transportation engineering journals and presented eleven papers in international conferences.
