Transportation & Traffic Engineering

Our team examines all aspects related to transportation and its infrastructure. Our work involves collision reconstruction, comprehensive road safety assessments, and the evaluation of roadway design, planning, operations, and maintenance of vehicular, bicycle, transit/rail, and pedestrian facilities, as well as interactions between users and these facilities. We are experts in all aspects of transportation safety, including winter road maintenance standards and practices, and emerging mobility modes such as scooters, e-bikes, bikeshare, carshare, rideshare, and driverless vehicles. In addition to undertaking collision investigations and reconstruction for litigants and defendants, we provide road safety audits, studies, plans, designs, and recommendations to transportation authorities and private clients to help ensure they maintain high operational and safety standards and reduce collision risk across their networks. Our winter road maintenance expertise includes seasonal operations assessments, standard of care evaluations, and litigation support related to snow and ice control practices. We're also educators, thought-leaders, researchers, and scientists. We teach, we train, we push the boundaries of convention to advance knowledge and innovation in the transportation industry.
