Transport Planning

SYSTRA’s technical departments are divided into: planning, civil engineering, equipment/systems. The transport planning department consists of planners, engineers, architects, economists, operation experts and other professionals，who are mainly responsible for the planning, design and feasibility study of railway and urban transport projects.

Transport network planning

Over the past 20 years, SYSTRA has adopted scientific and modern methods to set out transport development strategy, to plan different kinds of transport network so as to assist city and national transport policy makers. The bases of these studies mainly come from: analysis of transport status, forecast of transport development, structural study of traffic demand, identification of major transport corridors, suggestions on different traffic modes and schemes, and optimization of evaluation methods, for example: passenger flow forecast model, financial forecast model, evaluation of cost/travel time/social/economic benefits, comprehensive evaluation of alternatives, in-depth study of applicable alternative, etc.

Transport solution design

For the planning and design of specific line, transfer hub, station and depot, the word “insertion” was used to express the need for good integration of transport facilities with their surroundings. Nowadays, people are more accustomed to use "integration" to describe the connection and interaction between transport facilities. At the same time, it is necessary to study the operation of different transport modes. In these areas, SYSTRA has accumulated extensive experience through the projects around the world.
