Services

Civotec applies industry-standard methodologies and traffic engineering principles—guided by MUTCD, ITE, HCM, and TxDOT design criteria—to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable transportation solutions. Our professionals are experienced in using advanced traffic analysis tools such as Synchro, SimTraffic, HCS, and VISSIM to evaluate signal operations, intersection capacity, and corridor performance. Some of our traffic engineering services include: 

Traffic Studies & Reports Services

Traffic Impact Studies / Traffic Impact Analyses (TIA)

Traffic Impact Analyses (TIAs) evaluate how a proposed development will affect the surrounding roadway network. At Civotec, we prepare TIAs in compliance with municipal and TxDOT guidelines, addressing vehicle volumes, access, and operational performance. Our reports support permitting and zoning approvals by providing clear, data-backed assessments and mitigation recommendations when needed.

Trip Generation & Distribution

Using the latest ITE Trip Generation Manual and project-specific data, we estimate the volume of traffic expected to be generated by a development. Our team then applies logical trip distribution and assignment models—such as the Fratar method or manual distribution—to project traffic patterns and assess downstream impacts on intersections and corridors.

Signal Warrant Studies

We conduct signal warrant studies in accordance with MUTCD Chapter 4C to determine if traffic signals are justified at unsignalized intersections. These studies consider criteria such as volume thresholds, crash history, pedestrian activity, and school proximity. Our analyses are tailored to local agency requirements and are often essential for new developments or access changes.

Access & Circulation Studies

Civotec evaluates driveway locations, site access spacing, internal circulation, and interaction with adjacent roadways to ensure safe and efficient site design. We assist developers and engineers in refining site plans to meet access management guidelines while optimizing vehicular, pedestrian, and service vehicle movement.

Crash & Safety Analysis

We perform crash data evaluations and safety assessments to identify high-risk intersections or corridors. Using publicly available crash data and field observations, we assess contributing factors and recommend targeted countermeasures such as geometric improvements, control changes, or signal modifications to improve overall roadway safety.

Expert Witness Support

Civotec offers expert consulting and litigation support in traffic-related cases. Whether evaluating the adequacy of roadway design, control devices, visibility, or crash causation, we provide clear, defensible analysis and expert testimony to assist attorneys, insurers, and public agencies in resolving disputes.
