Moving Right Along: Will Your Development Require Traffic Impact Analysis?
Change is a constant, it has been said. And looking at the built environment around us, few could argue to the contrary. Our towns, cities, and transportation networks are continually evolving to better serve the interests of the community, moving forward with new structures, enhanced resources, and modern facilities to improve quality of life. Proposed… Read More »

What is Computational Fluid Dynamics/3D Hydraulic Modeling?
By Matthew Hickox, PE Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), also known as three-dimensional (3D) hydraulic modeling, is a practical way to predict and visualize how water flows in real-world conditions – including in rivers, stormwater structures, and wastewater systems. CFD solves fundamental flow equations that describe how physical laws govern fluid motion. It also provides detail… Read More »

Bike Lanes, Intersection Improvements Can Change Urban Barrier into Friendlier Corridor
While heavy traffic is part of living in the big city, communities need not sit idly by as their arterial streets become unnecessarily clogged by outdated technology – or begin to feel like dangerous canyons that pedestrians and bicyclists fear to even attempt crossing. Traffic engineers hold the key to streets where shared use by… Read More »
