Traffic Analysis and Modeling

At Red Plains, traffic data collection and analysis play a crucial role in shaping safe, efficient, and well-planned transportation networks. We specialize in gathering and interpreting traffic data to support roadway design, safety improvements, and long-term infrastructure planning. Using pneumatic tube counters, we collect key metrics such as vehicle classification, speed, and gap analysis, while manual peak-hour turning movement counts provide critical insights for intersection performance evaluations. Our expertise allows us to conduct level of service (LOS) analysis for unsignalized intersections and roundabouts, ensuring that transportation infrastructure is designed to meet both current and future demand.

While we provide in-depth traffic studies and forecasting, we also recognize the need for specialized expertise in more complex modeling scenarios. For signalized intersection analysis and advanced traffic modeling, we partner with experienced traffic engineers to deliver the highest level of technical accuracy and insight. This collaborative approach allows us to offer comprehensive traffic solutions while ensuring that our clients receive expert guidance on signal design, corridor modeling, and network optimization.

Our forecasting capabilities support trip generation analysis and long-term traffic projections, including 5-year, 10-year, and 20-year LOS assessments. These forecasts help municipalities, Tribes, and developers make informed decisions about roadway capacity, safety enhancements, and infrastructure investments. Whether planning for new developments or evaluating existing roadway performance, our data-driven approach ensures that projects are backed by reliable traffic insights, setting the foundation for smart, sustainable transportation planning
