TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY FOR KAFD-X AREA – TMS CONSULT
TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY FOR KAFD-X AREA

Detailed project description 

Located northeast of the interchange between King Fahd Road and the Northern Ring Road, the proposed new development (KAFD-X) may significantly impact the surrounding road network. A traffic impact study is therefore recommended before implementing the development to mitigate its effects on the surrounding area.

The main objectives of the project are to:

  • Determine the optimal and maximum trip generation and attraction capacity for the KAFD-X development.
  • Identify the most suitable type and scale of development to be planned.
  • Update the traffic model and evaluate proposed mitigation measures and solutions to enhance access to and from the KAFD project.
  • Assess the monorail within the KAFD site.

Services provided

  • Analysis of the current situation and elaboration of a transport model for the internal and external zones using EMME tools.
  • Calibration of the traffic model to reflect the current situation and traffic impact assessment of the future development.
  • Traffic forecasts (of various transport modes including monorail) related to population and economic activities.
  • Analysis of simulation results for future base case scenarios and sensitivity tests using the adjusted traffic model.
  • Recommendation of various mitigation measures to improve traffic circulation conditions on the network and some critical intersections and interchanges.
