Traffic Impact Assessment for Technical Evaluators
Urban and regional development projects, such as malls, housing, school and commercial established to have remarkable impacts on the transportation system and its environment. It is necessary to evaluate the significance of traffic-related impacts before the implementation of a proposed development. The TIA process allows these future impacts to be planned for and mitigated.
