Pedestrian Master Plan > Toolbox > Planning, Land Use, and Zoning > Technical Analysis Tools
SDOT staff members employ a variety of quantitative and qualitative technical tools to conduct multimodal traffic analyses. They include:
- Traffic counts (volumes) that include all modes and vehicle types
- Crash types, frequencies, and rates by specific locations and along roadway corridors
- In-depth examination of factors contributing to crashes; and development of “counter-measures”
- Pedestrian, motorist, and transit rider surveys
- Design standards and guidelines (best practices)
- Ongoing review of current research
- Traffic (vehicle) forecasting methodologies
- Operations modeling (e.g. VISSIM)
- Performance measures and benchmarks for all modes (partially based upon street typologies)
- Mapping technologies
- Quantitative and qualitative evaluation criteria for project ranking and prioritization
