Transit Corridors

Model light-rail corridors with time-phased station construction and traffic displacement analysis across decades.

Teams start by importing existing right-of-way geometries, traffic counts, and land use data into a time-anchored scene. Each corridor segment can be tagged with planning phases—feasibility, design, construction, and operation—allowing visual sequencing of alignment options and station footprints over time. Traffic displacement curves layer in projected vehicle rerouting during each construction stage, helping agencies assess cumulative impact on local streets and intersections.

Real-world asset data such as bus garage locations, fleet compositions, and service patterns from similar systems (e.g., agencies with large bus fleets) can be used as proxies to model operational readiness. Construction milestones are synchronized with environmental review timelines, enabling teams to adjust station placement or phasing based on observed vehicle flow changes in pilot zones over time.

Stakeholder annotations for public meetings are timestamped and geolocated, then linked to specific corridor segments and construction phases. Teams track feedback patterns—like opposition to a certain station site—and tie adjustments to updated displacement curves or ridership forecasts. This creates an auditable trail of how community input influenced final build-out sequencing.
