Traffic Impact Assesment (TIA) is very important component in city and regional planning. Without giving consideration to TIA aspects, there will problems like road accidents and traffic congestion on the road. For this reason, now cities are planning their road network while giving special attention to TIA rules and regulations. Lets go into more detail by defining the term "Traffic Impact Assesment".
Definition
Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) is based on technical study of investigating the impact of traffic patterns for current and future road networks. The relevant government authorities work for TIA. The TIA reports are now being considered mandatory for any urban project and their validity has specific life. so for every new development in the city, there will be TIA report every time and it will get renewed after some specific time period based on developing and urbanizing city conditions.
Purpose of TIA
TIA purpose as the name suggests is to assess and examine the impacts and aftereffects of traffic movement in the city. It portrays both the positive as well as the negative points. Based on the TIA reports, cities can manage their traffic regulations and transport movement in an effective way as before the real implementation of any future roundabout or building project, now TIA reports are virtually planned in computer software showing the impacts of traffic based on specific project.
The reports of TIA contains the expected outcomes and better workable options are then proposed for effective traffic framework of the city as in return it will help securing time and lessening accidents of the passengers.
Importance of TIA in Urban Planning of Cities
- manages the motor vehicle use and pedestrian movement on roads
- reduces the travelling time in reaching destinations
- makes sure the safety and security of people as well as the vehicles
- controls road networks and makes it effective
- provides a sustainable perspective to building or urban project
