The Issues
How best to plan and operate interchanges,
buildings and public areas to get the most out of the space, resources
and funds available is an important and current issue.
For example within stations, the need to improve and optimise the
potentially complex interaction between operational needs, passenger
behaviour and infrastructure is increasingly important. As levels
of demand continue to increase, measures to mitigate increased levels
of congestion, discomfort, frustration and concerns for safety are
likely to be required from the perspective of the passenger. From
the perspective of the operator, maintaining or improving operational
efficiency becomes even more critical with increased demand.
Our
Capability
We have a wide ranging portfolio in this area including:
- Congestion relief;
- Building design;
- Revenue protection;
|
- Planning new infrastructure; and
- Sports venues
design.
|
Tools used in pedestrian modeling and planning include:
spreadsheet based analysis; LEGION; PAXPORT; CAST; and PEDROUTE.
 We
are able to offer help and advice in the planning of stations and
interchanges. By combining our expertise in demand forecasting,
rail operations, pedestrian flow and capacity modelling and business
case appraisal, we can assist you to improve the efficiency of
stations and public transport hubs. Whether the assessment
requires particular focus to be paid to normal “day-to-day” operations,
disrupted (so called “perturbated”) operations or emergency
conditions, we can resolve the various issues at play to ensure
that informed and robust investment decisions are taken.
