GOING THE DISTANCE WITH SAFE AND
EFFICIENT ROADS AND EXPRESSWAYS.
Transportation engineering, a subdiscipline of civil engineering, is concerned with the safe and efficient movement of people and goods throughout a transportation system. Types of transportation systems include roads and expressways, rail (both light and freight), and even canal systems. When a system incorporates more than one mode of transportation, it is considered to be multimodal (such as the system in San Francisco that accommodates both automobiles and cable cars on its public roads).
Within the transportation discipline, Lutjen specializes in arterial roadways—the most widely used system in the United States. We have the expertise to design everything from neighborhood streets to major arterial streets to multimodal systems that employ shared roadways. Additionally, Lutjen provides traffic impact studies, site circulation analyses, traffic-control plans, and transportation modeling, among other ancillary services.
Areas of practice include:
- Roadway design.
- Traffic engineering.
- Transportation planning.
