Mobility Planning: Strategic Solutions for Safe and Sustainable Urban Mobility

Transport planning is now one of the fundamental tools for guiding the sustainable and functional development of our cities and territories. It is not just a matter of building roads or planning bus routes. Rather, it means designing the way people live, move and interact in urban and extra-urban spaces.

In a context where mobility, safety and sustainability are closely intertwined, public bodies and local authorities need advanced, customised and integrated technical solutions.

National and urban transport planning

Transport planning takes place at various levels: national, metropolitan and urban. Each level has different priorities, but all converge towards the common goal of more efficient, inclusive and sustainable mobility. We provide design solutions tailored to different scales and time horizons, based on demand analysis and integrated strategic assessments.

Support for municipalities and drafting of SUMP

We assist municipalities and metropolitan cities in drafting Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP). We offer technical support in defining objectives, modelling demand and planning investments, promoting stakeholder participation and a long-term vision.

Mobility sector plans

We draw up specific sector plans: local public transport, Biciplan (bicycle plan), school mobility plans. Each plan is designed to coordinate with general urban mobility strategies and respond operationally to the needs of the area.

Accident and road safety analysis

Safety is at the heart of our business: we carry out Road Safety Audits, Road Safety Inspections, Road Safety Plans and Detailed Urban Traffic Plans. We analyse critical issues and propose effective solutions to improve safety for all users.

Cost-benefit analysis and TEFS design

We offer support for Technical and Economic Feasibility Studies (TEFS), assessing the costs and benefits of interventions. We prepare the technical documentation necessary to access public funding and assist administrations in the implementation of projects.

Traffic and road network impact studies

We carry out traffic studies and impact assessments for urban developments, commercial openings and new infrastructure. Through model simulations, we determine the effect on the road network and propose any mitigating measures.

Functional design of mobility systems

We design interchange nodes, cycle paths, 30 km/h zones and restricted traffic areas, integrating pedestrian and vehicle modelling. Every intervention is aimed at improving accessibility, reducing car use and regenerating urban space.

Traffic light optimisation

We study and implement traffic light optimisation to reduce waiting times, improve traffic flow and promote public transport. We use data analysis and simulations to define efficient and safe scenarios.

Awareness and participation campaigns

We design information campaigns and public participation programmes to promote responsible behaviour, environmental awareness and active mobility. Engaging citizens is a crucial lever for change.

Sustainable mobility and urban regeneration

Mobility can become a tool for urban regeneration. We are redesigning public spaces with low-impact solutions, improving the urban environment, encouraging public transport and enhancing connections between neighbourhoods.

Conclusion

Transport planning is a complex but exciting challenge. It combines technology, strategy, innovation and participation to build safer, more efficient and more liveable cities. We offer integrated solutions that are tailored to the needs of local authorities, supporting them at every stage of the urban transformation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SUMP, and why is it important?

It is the Urban Sustainable Mobility Plan that guides urban policies towards more balanced and sustainable mobility

What does a Road Safety Plan include?

Assessment of critical points, corrective actions, infrastructure interventions and educational activities.

When is a traffic impact study required?

For projects that affect the road network, such as shopping centres, new neighbourhoods, events or infrastructure.

What does TEFS design mean?

A technical and economic assessment phase that precedes the construction of the project and verifies its sustainability.

How does traffic light optimisation work?

Traffic flows are analysed and traffic light timing is adjusted to improve traffic flow and reduce pollution.

What advantages does an interchange node offer?

It enables integration between different modes of transport and improves urban accessibility.
