Transportation Modeling

From Macroscopic to Microsimulation

We understand that transportation modeling is crucial in developing transportation solutions. CBB’s staff are experts in the latest transportation modeling techniques and methodologies for analysis, planning, and communication. We are equipped to perform high level macroscopic analyses for concept level studies to in depth microsimulation models built with vehicular travel, parking, public transit and pedestrian behavioral features for specialized in-depth planning studies. We realize that once a transportation solution has been developed, that the next vital step is communicating the solution to the community. To that end, we are skilled in utilizing microsimulation models to create visual animations that can depict the benefits a transportation project has to offer.

Big Data Analytics

We also have expertise in big data analytics which has become increasingly important in transportation industries. We can analyze large amounts of data to understand any correlation, hidden patterns, and other underlying insights to improve efficiency and flexibility in traffic operations and safety projects. Big data analytics can also improve the accuracy of travel demand models. CBB has experience in developing travel demand models that forecast future travel behavior based on socioeconomic, environmental, and financial factors. We are using data driven approaches to meet the needs of our clients. We are also collaborating with research institutions on data analytics research areas.

Cutting-Edge Technologies

CBB emphasizes using cutting-edge technologies and up-to-date research methodologies to provide the best solutions for our clients and are well-versed in the following areas such as Data Analytics, Travel Demand Modeling, Microsimulation (e.g., VISSIM, VISUM), Macrosimulation (e.g., SYNCHRO, SIDRA, VISTRO, HCS), Pedestrian Modeling (e.g., VisWalk), Transportation Visualization and Animation, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

CBB has continuously offered support for educating next generation of civil engineer and has been a valued partner in St. Louis Summer Transportation Institute in an effort to create STEM outreach opportunities for St. Louis high school students. CBB engineers also have volunteered their time to co-advising senior design projects and to mentor civil engineering students.
