<< Go Back

We help our clients to understand the requirements of both passengers and operators in determining how best to plan and operate interchanges to get the most out of the space, resources and funds available.

Within stations and major interchanges, 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.

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 interchanges.

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.
