1. Urban Transport
Traffic Study – Traffic Impact
Assessment
Riza Atiq bin O.K. Rahmat

2. Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA)
All development will generate traffic
into current or future transport facilities
All big development will generate
internal traffic

3. TIA will answer the question of:
What will the effect of a development
to the surrounding transport facilities
What is the magnitude additional traffic
due to the development to the existing
traffic
How will the additional traffic effect
the current traffic
What is the proposal to alleviate or
minimise the impact

4. TIA activities
Developer
Architect / town planner
Local Authority
Traffic Survey
Instruction by the local
authority to execute TIA Analyses:
•Trip generation
•Modal split
Appointment of a •Trip distribution
transport engineer •Trip assignment
•Analyses of LOS (Level of service)
•Problem evaluation
Discussion to determine the scope, •Proposal to alleviate or reduce the identified problems
study area and study methodology
Review the original lay-out plan and
Collate existing data and information
propose any improvement to the client
and land use
