Gannett Fleming is experienced in the use of numerous analysis tools, including 3-D traffic modeling. We have conducted studies for major roadway corridors and networks in an effort to reduce travel delay and emissions using low-cost retiming and new technologies. Our team is highly skilled in conducting road safety audits in which various components of the roadway are reviewed for safety and operational problems, such as signing/marking, roadside fixed-object hazards, drainage, and pedestrian safety. To meet federally mandated sign retroreflectivity requirements, Gannett Fleming has conducted sign inventory studies for agencies to assist in the development of a sign management system. A field application with an extensive sign attribute database was developed for the efficient collection and management of data. The data will support a GPS/GIS-based sign inventory management program. Transportation Operations and ITS Gannett Fleming has been at the forefront of linking planning with operations to promote safer and more-efficient transportation systems for all modes. Operations represents technologies and institutional arrangements that allow transportation systems to operate closer to their maximum design intent. Our comprehensive approach to operations and ITS planning ensures that deployments meet the needs of a region. Proper planning reduces risk and project costs by identifying key issues early in the project development process. We provide a wide range of transportation operations services, from developing the initial concepts to planning, design, systems integration, construction, construction management, and operations and maintenance support.
