TRAFFIC
Traffic engineering involves the analysis, design, and implementation of measures to ensure the safe and efficient movement of vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and other modes of transportation. CM has been partnering with ODOT, cities, villages, counties, and MPOs for the past 20+ years. Our versatile and well-balanced traffic engineering group is comprised of eight engineers, including four registered PEs, two PTOEs, and one AICP.
CM traffic engineers can cover all project phases, from study to design, and inception to implementation. We work in coordination with the client to collect data, conduct analyses, determine alternatives, help facilitate public engagement, assist with obtaining funding, and develop detailed design plans.
Our group can develop all different types of traffic studies and plans including traffic impact studies, safety studies, interchange studies, speed studies, intersection studies, school travel plans, active transportation plans, certified traffic development, and many more. Our group can also develop traffic signal, traffic control, maintenance of traffic, and roadway lighting detailed design plans. We are pre-qualified with ODOT for Basic Signal Design, Traffic Signal System, Limited and Complex Lighting Design, Safety Studies, and Interchange Justification/Modification Studies.
Through our decades of working with ODOT and local agencies who default to ODOT guidance, we have gained a vast understanding of all ODOT traffic manuals and standards. We are proficient in many relevant software and tools including Synchro, SimTraffic, TransModeler, HCS, Miovision, MicroStation, SignCAD, Visual Lighting, ODOT economic crash analysis tool (ECAT), and ODOT transportation information mapping system (TIMS).
CM traffic engineers also have experience working on both sides of the fence: private and public. CM has been involved with site developments of all sizes, ranging from small storage unit facilities to large 300-acre multiuse developments. Our team can assist developers through the approval process with government agencies. We can prepare the traffic impact study and detailed design plans for roadway improvements needed.
