Transport Modelling

Rovia can assist with traffic modelling to support planning applications, ranging from simple junctions through to complex strategic networks. Our modelling work underpins the technical evidence behind Transport Assessments, Local Plan Evidence bases and infrastructure design, helping to demonstrate that a proposed development can be accommodated on the surrounding road network.

We use a range of modelling software to analyse and evaluate the effects of developments on the road network, testing different scenarios and interventions to identify the most effective solutions. Our approach is proportionate to the scale and complexity of each project, from a single junction capacity assessment through to wider strategic network modelling for larger schemes and new settlements.

Our Expertise

Our transport modelling services include:

1. Junction capacity assessments, from simple priority junctions to signal-controlled and roundabout layouts
2. Strategic and local highway network modelling
3. Testing of mitigation measures and infrastructure interventions
4. Modelling to support Transport Assessments, Transport Statements and Environmental Impact Assessments
5. Sensitivity testing and scenario analysis to support robust technical evidence

Why Choose Rovia

Modelling outputs can be technical and difficult to interpret, which is why we place real emphasis on clear communication. We are able to communicate these outputs and the solutions effectively to all stakeholders, including the client, wider project team, highway authorities and local community, ensuring the evidence behind a scheme is understood, not just accepted on trust. For complex strategic transport networks, we may draw on a trusted network of industry specialists with whom we have built longstanding relationships over many decades.
