Projects

Guiding Principal:

Agencies must set clear objectives and measure impact, ensuring initiatives are evaluated on their contribution to citizen experience, business vitality, and operational performance — and only proceed when the value to the people and enterprises they serve is explicitly demonstrated.

Evaluation of existing and evolving technologies and value propositions.
City of Dublin (OH)Safety and Traffic Flow OptimizationAt 22 intersections and 1 roundabout, implement mode switch with Pedestrians highest priority, optimize corridors based on real-time demand, improve safety1. Pedestrian wait time reduced by 28%
2. Coordinated Corridors further improved by 4-6%
3. Reduced 75% incidents
4. Metered roundabout through intersections (test)
City of Marysville (OH)Traffic Flow Optimization & ClimateAt 23 intersections, implement multi-mode traffic flow optimization to increase return on infrastructure investment and improve flow of freight throughout1. Reduced delay for trucks and buses with 15% and 21% respectively
2. Minor approaches receive a significant benefit of 35 – 50% (9.1 – 16.0 seconds) from the fast cycling through phases

Our Approach

We combine structured, data-driven frameworks, developed with leading European experts and tested in U.S. cities, with practical, on-the-ground experience.

Our proprietary Transit Opportunity Index Assessment enables jurisdictions to compare how effectively they serve transit, pedestrians, passenger cars, trucks, snowplows, emergency vehicles, bicyclists, wheelchairs, the visually impaired, autonomous vehicles, and delivery robots.

Through organizational change, process improvement, and targeted technology implementation, we help agencies achieve operational excellence and measurable public benefit.

Because if you can’t measure the impact on the people and businesses you serve, are you really helping?
