ITS/Traffic Engineering
We all enjoy transportation systems that get us where we are going safely and quickly. However, rapid population growth has led to congestion, hazards and delays on our highways and roadways.

Traffic congestion is more than an inconvenience.  It increases fuel consumption, travel time and stress, making communities less livable, productive and sustainable.  ARCADIS' transportation engineers employ a full set of tools and capabilities to solve the complex issues of inefficient transport systems, including the use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

Because many of our traffic consultants have worked as state or municipal traffic engineers, we can engineer real-world, practical solutions. Our traffic control system experience ranges from small closed-loop systems to distributed systems controlling numerous intersections across a large geographic area.

From conceptual design to system integration, ARCADIS addresses these challenges through effective, lasting transportation planning, engineering, design and management. We apply both traditional approaches and state-of-the-art Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) equipment and technology to engineer traffic engineering solutions for our clients, including

  • Traffic signal systems feasibility studies, planning, design, construction observation, timing and operational support
  • Traffic operations studies
  • Circulation and access studies
  • Traffic safety studies
  • Railroad crossing studies
  • Accident analyses
  • Development impact analyses
  • ITS design and Design/Built
  • ITS system upgrade and maintenance
  • Systems construction engineering inspections (CEI)
  • Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and LIght Rail Transit (LRT) priority preemption design, installation and integration
  • Traffic operations and management centers equipment design, specification, installation and integration
From interstates and major roadway arteries to rural roads and traffic control centers, ARCADIS has provided regional and statewide ITS services across the U.S.

We are very familiar with the U.S. Federal Highway Administration’s requirements, and our expertise allows us to use, amplify and tailor ITS standard protocols and operational, system and testing requirements to meet the specific needs of each our clients.

We focus on creating effective and sustainable solutions that reflect the visions and goals of our clients and their communities—and maximize safety and mobility—today and for years to come.
