Demand Modelling and Forecasting
Transport modelling and forecasting is a critical tool for shaping efficient, sustainable transportation networks. By using advanced data analysis and simulation techniques, transport models predict travel demand, assess network performance, and evaluate the impact of policy or infrastructure changes. These insights empower governments, planners, and transport agencies to make data-driven decisions that address traffic congestion, improve safety, reduce emissions, and enhance accessibility.
Economic and Financial Appraisal
Transport economic and financial appraisal is essential for evaluating the viability and impact of transportation projects. Through rigorous cost-benefit analysis, it assesses the economic value of proposed investments by examining factors like travel time savings, environmental effects, and safety improvements.
Financial appraisal then considers funding, revenue, and long-term financial sustainability, helping decision-makers prioritise projects with the highest returns. This process ensures that resources are allocated effectively, maximizing public benefit while supporting sustainable economic growth and enhancing overall transportation infrastructure.
Example Project:
– Moldova Roads Rehabilitation V Programme funded by the EBRD

HDM-4
The Highway Development and Management Tool (HDM-4) is a powerful model to analyse roads projects, networks and programmes and is used widely in development projects. It can be used to manage road networks, predict the performance of road pavement technologies and determine detailed funding requirements for sections of roads across the entire network.
Example Project
– Millennium Challenge Corporation Due Diligence Consultancy

Policy and Institutional Reform
Transport policy and institutional reform establish a foundation for sustainable, accessible, and efficient transportation. Together, these initiatives empower authorities to adapt to emerging challenges while ensuring that transport systems remain responsive to public needs. Through thoughtful policy and reform, countries can improve service delivery, attract investment, and build infrastructure that supports economic growth and social well-being.
Example Project:
– Creation of Road Access Authorities and Road Funds in Nigeria

Public Transport
Public transport planning is crucial for creating accessible, efficient, and sustainable urban mobility solutions. By designing transit networks that meet community needs, public transport planning helps reduce traffic congestion, lower emissions, and improve the quality of life for residents. It involves assessing demand, optimizing routes, coordinating schedules, and integrating various modes of transport. Thoughtful planning also supports economic growth and social inclusion, ensuring that reliable public transit options are available to everyone.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are essential for ensuring the success and accountability of development projects. By tracking progress, measuring outcomes, and assessing impacts, M&E provides valuable insights into project effectiveness and areas for improvement. This process helps stakeholders make data-driven adjustments, optimize resource use, and maximize positive outcomes for communities.
Effective M&E strengthens transparency, enhances learning, and supports sustainable development by ensuring that projects deliver meaningful and measurable benefits.
Decarbonisation, E-mobility and Air Quality
We develop strategies and roadmaps to deliver realistic transport decarbonization pathways for cities and countries, as well as improvements to local air quality. We also conduct feasibility studies for the introduction of e-buses and policy development for the shift to EV cars.
