Services

TMA specialises in providing modelling and analytical insights to clients who require rigour in their assessments of congested networks and some certainty about how their policy and infrastructure decisions affect congestion levels on the various transport systems. Our assessments are used for business case advancement and system optimisation as well as providing a quantitative basis that will underpin the narrative for your project.

Transport Modelling and Analytics

The combination of analytics and transport modelling can give you powerful insights into system behaviour that will make your transport planning study more relevant, your masterplan more appropriate, and your transport system feasibility designs more optimal.

Through the appropriate development of operational models from relevant data sets, key system behaviours and performance thresholds can be explored for whole of system optimisation and trigger point identification and mitigation.

We offer expert skills and experience in a range of operational and planning modelling software tools including SIDRA, LinSig, TRANSYT, Commuter, Paramics, AIMSUN (micro , meso, hybrid), VISSIM, VISWALK and VISUM. We have successfully employed some of these software platforms in conjunction with Roads and Maritime Services’ Intelligent Transport Systems including SCATSIM, PTIPS and SRMS to better replicate real world conditions.

The careful merging of big data set opportunities with traditional survey methods gives a powerful basis for transport models that when combined with our experience in applying these data greatly reduces the cost in establishing baseline conditions but still meets recognised industry best practice from model calibration and validation. We offer the following specific modelling skills:

  • Adaptive control and transit priority systems
  • Analytical Modelling
  • Audit and Peer Review
  • Operational Modelling (Microsimulation)
  • Strategic Modelling
