Transport Planning

Traffic control

At Sweco, traffic control planning focuses on usability, legality, and clarity. We create traffic control plans for street and road areas at various stages, including general planning which defines existing control devices and locations for new traffic signs and devices. During the construction planning phase, we develop more detailed plans, measurement drawings, and cost estimates. We also design signage for car traffic and bicycle traffic using GIS software and tools like Novapoint and YTCAD. Additionally, we work on general planning for traffic lights and portal design in collaboration with other planners.

Transportation system studies

Transportation system planning is interactive and based on impact assessments and collaboration with various stakeholders. The goal of strategic-level planning is to align objectives and actions related to the transportation system. As transportation consultants, we support processes through coordination tasks, create transportation system plans, and conduct various studies addressing aspects like vitality, the interaction between land use and transportation, reducing transportation emissions, travel chains, and climate strategies. These studies are based on national and regional development objectives and transportation policy constraints.

Industrial transportation planning

Industrial transportation planning focuses on creating efficient and safe transportation systems in industrial areas, considering traffic volume analysis and safety, particularly for heavy vehicles and pedestrians. Emphasis is placed on predictability and good visibility, often involving traffic studies that consider the impact of the area on the surrounding transportation network. Close collaboration with municipal authorities, transport companies, and industrial clients is essential to achieve the best outcome.

Sweco integrates mobility management into industrial site planning, offering a comprehensive service package from updating sustainability programs to drafting mobility plans, with a strong emphasis on communication in all services.

Impact assessments and operational reviews

We conduct impact assessments for projects at various planning stages, covering both large road projects and operational reviews of individual intersections through simulations. The goal is to create an understanding of the impacts of actions relative to project objectives, considering traffic, land use, environmental, and societal perspectives.

Operational reviews are conducted across street and road environments in various settings, such as highways and urban spaces, including tramway projects. Based on the assessments and reviews, we formulate recommended actions, which can be developed collaboratively with the client. The results can be utilized in decision-making and enhance project acceptance.

Special transport

We design routes for special transports according to clients’ needs. The evaluations examine which routes special transports can take from one location to another. Restrictions along the route, such as narrow bridges, low tunnels, and other obstacles affecting transport smoothness, are documented, and change suggestions are made. Additionally, we conduct trajectory reviews for special transports using different vehicles, which helps us better understand the requirements and challenges of the routes.

We are committed to offering our clients top-quality service and expert support to ensure special transports proceed smoothly.
