A TIA is an evaluation of the potential

Effects that a particular development’s
traffic will have on the transportation
network in its impact area.

Magnitude of studies will vary depending on:

Type of development : e.g., residential, commercial, industrial,
Size or density of development: e.g., flat residential, vertical condo)
Location of development (e.g., CBD, suburb, along busy highway, etc.)
T I A : U r b a n Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n P r o b l e m s
oTraffic congestion: volume and capacity
oParking issues: supply & demand
oPublic transport inadequacy: supply & demand
oPedestrians mobility issues: access & facility
oEnvironmental impacts: degradation & pollution
oEnergy impacts: consumption & wastage

oLoss of space: community well-being issues

oLand consumption: unsustainable practice
oAccidents and safety: road users well-being

A sustainable city must offer to its population
a suitable urban environment, employment,
food, housing and transportation without
compromising the welfare of the future
population of that city. (OECD)
Sustainable Development
Sustainable application must run across
all development sectors, including:
✓Urbanization- population & progress
✓Agriculture- food production & security
✓Infrastructure- facilities & shelter
✓Energy- production & technology
✓Water- supply & demand
✓Transportation- access & mobility

… to achieve sustainable development, the three primary objectives must be

applied simultaneously, interacting with one another in a consistent,
committed effort.

Transportation Master Plan (TMP)
What is a Transportation Master Plan?
TMP is the process …
✓of looking at the current state of
transportation in the municipality/city
✓of designing for future transportation
needs, and
✓of combining all elements of budgets,
goals and policies
TMP is a long range plan…
✓which provides a framework and direction
for transportation infrastructure needs of https://palye.com.tr/en/transportation-master-plan/
a city or municipality
Transportation Master Plan (TMP)
TMP consists of the following stages…
1. Collection of Available Information
2. Collection of New Information
3. Analysis of Data
4. Preparation of Model Inputs
5. Establishment and calibration of
Demand Forecasting Model
6. Establishment of target Forecasts
7. Creation of Alternative Scenarios and
Testing in the Model
8. Preparation of the TMP Technical Report

Transportation Master Plan (TMP)
Planning transportation objectives…
1. must be reliable to support the needed
access and mobility of the community
2. must resilient for disaster-related scenarios
of the community
3. development must be economically
justifiable & financially feasible
4. must be environmentally sound
5. must be reliable to support the social and
economic activities of the community
