TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT

CE412 - PRINCIPLES OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
A Tra c Impact Assessment (TIA) is an important tool used to determine the transportation
impacts of a proposed land development project. It identi es the need for any improvements to a
transportation system to reduce congestion, maintain and improve safety, and provide site access
and impact mitigation associated with the project.

A TIA is an evaluation of the potential e ects that a particular development’s tra c will have on the
transportation network in its impact area. Magnitude of Studies will vary depending on:
Type of Development Size/Density of Development Location of Development
Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Recreational, Residential: Subdivision, High-rise Condominium CBD, sub-urban, along busy Highway, etc.
Institutional, etc.

PURPOSE OF TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT
• The main purpose of a tra c impact study is to Determine the Tra c Generated by a
development project and how the generated tra c a ect the existing conditions and Level-of-
Service of the Transportation System in the area;

• Similarly, for a more detailed tra c impact study, the Environmental E ects of the tra c
generated are also analyzed;

• Finally, the Mitigating Schemes or Measures are proposed to alleviate the tra c impacts and
thereby improve the Level-of-Service of the transportation System.

TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT ANSWERS THE FOLLOWING:
1. Will the New Project have Impact on Tra c on any existing residential streets and how will those
impacts be mitigated?
CHAPTER O5

INSTRUCTOR
ffi
2. Will the New Development aggravate any Existing Safety Hazards or Create New Ones and if
so, how can those hazards be corrected?
CHAPTER O5

INSTRUCTOR
3. Can the proposed development be served by Public Transport?
CHAPTER O5

INSTRUCTOR
4. Is the On-site Parking Su cient or is there an opportunity to share parking with other adjacent
uses?
CHAPTER O5

INSTRUCTOR

5. How many Driveways are Needed, and how will these impact the external road?
CHAPTER O5

INSTRUCTOR
6. What are the Transport Improvements needed to serve the Tra c Generated by the New
Development?
CHAPTER O5

INSTRUCTOR
ffi
7. How much will the Improvement Cost be and who will pay for them?

WARRANTS FOR THE CONDUCT OF TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT
• When the proposed development is
expected to generate 100 new trips
during the AM or PM Peak
• When the proposed project is expected

to a ect the already congested areas
(causing LOS to Drop to D)

LEVEL-OF-SERVICE (LOS) CRITERIA
Indicates ratio of actual volume to road capacity and is a measure of e ciency of the road.
Volume-
LOS Description Capacity
Ratio
Condition of free ow with high speeds
A 0.00 - 0.19
and low tra c volume
In the zone of stable ow; drivers have
B 0.20 - 0.44
reasonable freedom to select their speeds
In the zone of stable ow; drivers are
C 0.45 - 0.69
restricted in selecting their speed
Approaches unstable ow ow with
D nearly all drivers restricted; service 0.70- 0.84
volume corresponds to tolerable capacity.
Tra c Volumes near or at capacity; ow
E 0.85 - 1.00
is unstable with momentary stopages
Forced or congested ow at low speeds;
F > 1.00

A TIA is typically appropriate for the following local processes:
Zoning and rezoning application Land Subdivision Application Condominium Application

This is a lot of work, so we only conduct TIA for large developments
