Mobility Planning: Strategic Solutions for Safe and Sustainable Urban Mobility

Transport planning is now one of the fundamental tools to guide the sustainable and functional development of our cities and territories. It’s not just about building roads or scheduling bus routes. It means designing how people live, move, and interact in urban and suburban spaces.

In a context where mobility, safety, and sustainability are closely intertwined, public entities and local administrations need advanced, customized, and integrated technical solutions.

Transport planning on a national and urban scale

Transport planning is structured on different 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 project solutions tailored to different scales and time horizons, based on demand analysis and integrated strategic assessments.

Support to 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, demand modeling, and investment planning, promoting stakeholder participation and a long-term vision.

Sectoral mobility plans

We draft specific sector plans: local public transport, Bicycle plans, School mobility plans. Each plan is designed to coordinate with the general strategies of urban mobility and respond operationally to the needs of the territory.

Accident and road safety analysis

Safety is at the heart of our activity: we conduct Road Safety Audits, Road Safety Inspections, Road Safety Plans, and Detailed Urban Traffic Plans. We analyze critical issues and propose effective solutions to improve the safety of all users.

Cost-benefit analysis and PFTE design

We offer support for Technical-Economic Feasibility Design (PFTE), evaluating the costs and benefits of interventions. We prepare the necessary technical documentation to access public funding and assist administrations in project implementation.

Traffic impact and viability studies

We conduct traffic studies and impact assessments for urban settlements, commercial openings, and new infrastructures. Through modeling simulations, we determine the effect on the road network and propose possible mitigations.

Functional design of mobility systems

We design interchange nodes, cycle-pedestrian paths, 30 zones, and ZTL areas integrating pedestrian and vehicular modeling. Each intervention is aimed at improving accessibility, reducing car use, and regenerating urban space.

Traffic light optimization

We study and implement traffic light optimization 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 paths to promote responsible behavior, 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 redesign public space with low-impact solutions, improving the urban environment, encouraging collective transport, and enhancing connections between neighborhoods.

Conclusion

Transport planning is a complex but exciting challenge. It combines technique, strategy, innovation, and participation to build safer, more efficient, and livable cities. We offer integrated, tailored solutions consistent with the needs of local entities, accompanying them in every phase of the urban transformation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SUMP and why is it important?

It is the Sustainable Urban 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, infrastructural interventions, and educational activities.

When is a traffic impact study needed?

For projects that affect the road network, such as shopping centers, new neighborhoods, events, or infrastructures.

What does PFTE design mean?

A technical-economic evaluation phase that precedes the implementation of the work and verifies its sustainability.

How does traffic light optimization work?

Flows are analyzed and traffic light timings are adjusted to smooth traffic and reduce pollution.

What advantages does an interchange node offer?

It allows integration between different means of transport and improves urban accessibility.
