Integrated Network Management
Effective network management enables local authorities to tackle congestion and deal with future traffic growth, whilst also helping to meet their objectives for air quality, accessibility and overall service efficiency. TRL helps local authorities to understand and manage the needs of all road users on their network, including public transport users, freight users, motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists, and provides guidance to policy-makers in this field. |

We've specialist expertise in the assessment of air quality and transport noise, which can be applied to the development of action plans for inclusion in Local Transport Plans and other strategic planning documents. TRL has worked closely with a number of local authorities to identify air quality hotspots and to recommend solutions. Typical measures include the use of cleaner fuels and vehicle technologies and improvements in public transport. This process has helped promote co-ordination between the transport and environment sectors to find joint solutions to air quality and noise problems.
Our key capabilities in this area include:
- strategy and policy development
- air quality and noise action plans
- monitoring and modelling of air and noise emissions
- understanding user attitudes and behaviour
- user surveys and monitoring
- accessibility planning
