A transport scheme is a plan that defines how vehicular and pedestrian flows are organized along the full length of a street.
At the preliminary design stage, traffic data is analyzed for all categories of users: motorists, pedestrians, passengers of surface public transport, cyclists, and users of personal mobility devices.
A transport scheme records the key parameters and layout of the proposed street and road network, including:
pedestrian crossings;
cycle lanes and cycle tracks;
dedicated lanes for surface public transport;
locations of public transport stops;
parking spaces;
infrastructure elements such as wayfinding totems, bicycle parking, and rental stations.
The purpose of the scheme is to balance the interests of all road users, enhancing both safety and convenience of movement in the urban environment.
A transport scheme is developed at the earliest design stages to plan the optimal organization of traffic and the placement of infrastructure elements. It later serves as a basis for other project documentation, such as detailed street improvement drawings.
A well-prepared transport scheme provides the foundation for comprehensive street upgrades and reconstruction. It defines the structure of the future street and road network, ensuring safe and well-balanced interaction among all traffic flows.
Measures for ensuring safety on roads and in pedestrian zones.
Development of a distinctive visual and communication identity for a city or its transport system. Integration of the brand into urban infrastructure and public transport to increase appeal and recognizability.
Industrial design of public transport stops, parking facilities, and other urban transport infrastructure. Design of wayfinding systems. Public realm improvement projects.
Calculation of economic efficiency of transport solutions and assessment of project viability.
