Synopsis
Key Note:

“Raising the Bar towards Best Practice in Urban Planning - transport assessment and traffic site plan”

The key note presentation attempts to give awareness or to refresh on the techniques of Raising the Bar towards Best Practice in Urban Planning with strategies zooming on Smart Growth concepts in seeking balanced transport and traffic solutions, through Transport Assessment and Traffic Site Plan as part of the development planning tools put to good if not best practice.

“Transport system shapes our Urban form and influences our Liveable City lifestyle”;

“Traffic service levels determine QoL experiences and affect Liveable Image of the city“

Main Presentation:

Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA), or perhaps it should be more appropriately called Transport Assessment due to the need to consider various modes of transport, and in this current age where transport professionals are focusing their design in moving people rather than moving traffic, is an urban mobility planning tool used to help achieve a city’s Sustainable Development Goals in Transport and Mobility Engineering.

The TIA investigates and identifies any adverse impact of the new development to the existing traffic and transportation facilities. Mitigation measures will be evaluated and feasible measures will be recommended to ensure that any residual impact will be insignificant upon their implementations. Traffic engineering and management measures will be proposed in order to minimize and to alleviate the anticipated adverse impact to the neighbouring area. TIA also identifies improvements needed to integrate the proposed development within the pedestrian and cyclist pathway system.
