Traffic models and simulations

Well-founded analyses for efficient traffic planning

The efficient design of traffic infrastructure requires precise forecasts and simulations. Traffic models help to predict future traffic flows, identify bottlenecks, and realistically assess the impact of planned measures. In doing so, we take account of a wide range of influencing factors – from demographic trends and mobility behaviour to existing traffic surveys.

Using state-of-the-art modelling and simulation methods, we create reliable foundations for decision-making in relation to infrastructure projects. Our analyses provide precise information about traffic demand, traffic distribution and the capacity of planned roads, intersections, or public transport facilities.

Precise traffic analyses as a basis for planning

Using mathematical models and simulation methods, we determine key parameters such as travel times, the length of traffic congestion, lost time, and route utilisation. This allows traffic concepts to be optimised early on in the planning phase and specifically tailored to the needs of cities, municipalities and investors.

In addition to quantitative analysis, dynamic traffic simulations are an essential tool for the visual representation of traffic flows. They clearly demonstrate the effects of new traffic concepts and facilitate decision-making, for example in participatory processes or political bodies.

Our services in the field of traffic models and simulations

Sustainability assessment of transport concepts

In addition to traffic analyses, we also assess the environmental and climate impacts of various traffic scenarios. Our models calculate emissions, energy consumption and space requirements for different traffic concepts, thus providing key indicators for sustainable traffic planning. This holistic approach helps decision-makers develop traffic solutions that are not only efficient but also environmentally friendly and future-proof.
