a global and coherent way. Traffic planning comprises all actions needed to prepare and formulate the
traffic and mobility policy and to formulate the plans to execute the policy. Tractebel Engineering acts
as a policy advisor in the realisation of measures positively affecting the mobility of tomorrow.
1.4.2.1.1 Traffic planning
An efficient traffic policy is only possible when approached in a global and coherent way. Traffic
planning comprises all actions needed to prepare and formulate the traffic and mobility policy and to
formulate the plans to execute the policy. Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure
acts as a policy support advisor in the realisation of measures positively affecting our mobility.
Mobility studies
Mobility studies are integrated studies that match supply and demand of traffic in a municipality, city,
region or province and optimise trips while taking into account safety, quality of life and sustainability.
The different transportation modes are analysed in a coherent way. A mobility plan is realized in
cooperation with policy makers, transport suppliers and multiple user groups. All stakeholders have a
say in the process, in order to obtain a coherent, supported final result. The municipal mobility plan is a
crucial component of this facet of mobility planning.
Mobility impact studies
The implantation of a new activity, such as a school, an industrial area, a shopping mall or a hospital,
always brings along additional traffic. A mobility impact study assesses the impact of the project in
advance and formulates recommendations to tackle this impact in a sustainable way.
The accessibility of a specific location is analysed, taking into account the different transportation
means. In a first phase the existing traffic flows are analysed. Next, the traffic flows that are estimated
to be generated by the new activity are added to assess the future traffic situation. The last phase is the
formulation of recommendations to improve the accessibility. These recommendations are elaborated
in detail and discussed with the parties involved. This type of study can be part of an environmental
impact study.
Public transport planning
In order to match the public transport supply with the mobility needs, a detailed analysis is made from
both supply and demand. State-of-the-art multimodal traffic models are used to develop and design
new networks. These allow as well assessing the accessibility, modal split and potential travellers,
aiming to coordinate the policy.

Transportation master plans
To underpin the policy orientation in the medium term, guiding structures are developed in relation to
the spatial design plans. These plans are the basis for an integrated and continuous traffic policy and for
the development of concrete projects. This does not only imply absorbing the road traffic, but also
streamlining the traffic flows. The integrated approach improves traffic safety for the different
transport means, allows prioritizing public transport and soft modes of transport and gives back the
original residential function to streets and squares.
Traffic signalling
The development of a signalling plan requires sufficient attention for the functionality, the readability
and the efficiency of the traffic system. Taking into account the requirements concerning individual
signage, legislation and flexibility, the system has to guide all travellers in a clear, fluent and efficient
way to their destination. Good signalling is the most adequate way to steer traffic flows, as illustrated
by car parking signal systems. Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure have been for
many years now a leading player in different fields of traffic signalling. Tractebel Engineering Smart and
Sustainable Infrastructure has managed and is managing the signalization for several important wh.
Urban development plans
The (re)development of streets, squares, bus stations and parking lots require a thorough analysis of
the preferred functioning of this space: how do we want the users to behave? To this purpose a
preliminary functional design is made to serve as a basis for future execution plans of the project or
(re)development. When necessary, the further process is accompanied until the realization phase.
In this context Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure has ample experience in the
development of modular dossiers, particularly the starting memorandum. Starting from a strong vision
and the aim for feasible solutions and designs, Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable
Infrastructure obtains an efficient approach in developing these designs.
1.4.2.1.2 Mobility management
Company and school mobility plans
Home-to-work and home-to-school travel constitute the largest part of the daily driven distance by
private vehicles. The set-up and implementation of a mobility plan for a company, business parks or
schools aims at reducing the total driven vehicle kilometres. After analyzing the traffic demand different

Nigeria
alternatives are developed, such as cycling routes, matching public transport, carpooling … Providing
individual travelling advice and an intensive guidance encourages the use of alternative modes of
transport.
Traffic models
An important part of TTE-Consultancy’s activities are situated in the field of traffic modelling. Tractebel
Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure has
gained considerable experience in simulating traffic flows in
a computer model, on a regional, municipal and city level.
These simulation models allow making planning estimates
for future traffic situations, as a result of changes in the
traffic circulation, the realization of new roads, implantation
of new activities… Macro models are used for this
purpose.Besides this, Tractebel Engineering Smart and
Sustainable Infrastructure frequently uses micro models, to
simulate roads and crossings in a dynamic way. This simulation technique imitates real traffic flows to
determine the best solution for a crossing, for example the choice between a roundabout or a traffic
light controlled junction (and the optimal traffic light settings, road design…).
Communication
During the last years, communication has become an essential part of the planning process. Also
Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure considers stakeholder participation as a
crucial element in planning, and invests therefore strongly in engaging all stakeholders in an active way.
This comprises a broad variety of activities, such as the qualitative presentation of the different
planning phases, steering groups, traffic commissions, municipal counselling commissions, attending
participation moments and information sittings to the general public, composing leaflets to inform
about participation opportunities and decisions…
1.4.2.1.3 Telematics
Telematics are used to control the circular course of traffic by electronic instruments, in order to utilise
the maximal road capacity and to watch over the safety. Traffic data are detected, processed and used
to generate useful information. This system is applied to guide both individual as collective transport.
The increasing traffic pressure takes its toll. More and more measures are required to streamline traffic
flows. Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure is specialized in providing state-of-
the-art expertise in the design of interactive or traffic dependent managing systems for traffic lights and
signalling.

More often the focus goes to public transport priority and traffic management on urban networks. An
important evolution in mobility management is the increasing use of traffic management systems on
highways. Traffic information and speed control are the key aspects here.
In the European context TRACTEBEL- Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure co-operates in
the conceptual development and pilot projects of innovative signalling techniques and telematics
applications to release the obstructed high-speed traffic. Several applications have been developed by
Tractebel-Engineering: Management of urban networks; Public transport priority management; Traffic
guidance and information.
1.4.2.1.4 Environmental Impact Assessments
Carrying out an environmental impact assessment is often a mandatory requirement for major
infrastructure projects. The project initiator is bound by an EIA to factor in already at an early stage the
human and environmental impact and to examine how this impact can be reduced and what
compensatory measures can be proposed for this. These studies must be arranged by an accredited
coordinator and expert, in accordance with the guidelines set out by the EIA service. The coordinators
at Tractebel Engineering already have more than 20 years’ experience of these EIAs, and Tractebel
Engineering has more than 10 accredited EIA experts in-house.

Project description and objectives
Tractebel Engineering has been assigned by the World Bank to develop a Regional
Transport Intermodal Study and Action Plan in the Countries of the East Africa Community.
Phase 1 of the assignment comprises the development of the Strategy and Action Plan,
starting with a broad review of the situation and the context. This review will contain both a
review of the performance of the transport system, customer base and the institutional
framework. Both review tasks can occur simultaneously and will consist of a literature
review and additional data collection. Based on this review, the development options will be
identified and sifted. The output of this first phase is the Draft Strategy and Action Plan,
which will be presented to the stakeholders, with the possibility to process their feedback. After the approval of the clients, Phase 2
will then comprise the pre-feasibility level analysis for the defined interventions. This phase contains an impact analysis on all
relevant domains: traffic, environmental, sociological, financial and economic impacts. The studies of the different impacts will take
place simultaneously, allowing for interaction between the findings in the different domains. The output of these impact analyses
will be processed in a broader impact evaluation framework. The finalization of the Strategy and Action Plan is the main output of
phase 2, and will be presented to prospective financiers and interested development partners.

In Mumbai, transportation systems are very complex matters due to the
unique geography and the growing population. For the pastten years,
the government focussed on large-scale transportation systems such as
major roads, metro and rail infrastructures. Theon-going
implementations are the direct results of the Comprehensive
Transportation Study, used by the Authorities as the
conceptualbackbone of the large-scale mobility for the entire Region.
The feasibility study of Tractebel Engineering concentrates
on formulating innovative solutions for solving the complex transition between macro and micro mobility levels.
It aims in producing precise upper-level recommendations and specific guidelines for integrated infrastructure implementation in
Mumbai. The feasibility study will mainly focus on five inter-level mobility connections ranging from highways to
pedestrian infrastructures. The recommendations and subsequent guidelines should appropriately consider all aspects of
infrastructural design such as mobility efficiency, architectural and urban quality, landscape integration, environmental
sustainability,robustness, construction costs and maintenance mitigation.

mobility 2040" will have to be strongly ambitious and innovative. Tractebel Engineering, with the collaboration of
EspacesMobilités, zooo and Speculoosperformed a benchmark of best practices of mobility in cities comparable to
Brussels and cities which were on a more advanced level. Scenariosfor mobility and accessibility in 2040 were
established and an action program for the interim periods until 2040 has beendrafted.
To analyse the transport and traffic of the Brussels-Capital Region.A large number of future evolutions of mobility and
accessibility in 2040 had to be defined and developed. These changes took into account the population evolution, the
displacement pattern and the changing modes of transportation.
Main activities
Tractebel Engineering analysed the transport and traffic in the Brussels-Capital Region in Belgium. First of all, a diagnosis of the
evolution of the traffic and transport during the last 10 years has been performed , combined with a benchmark study
to comparable areas in the world. To study the accessibility in the whole region, information from various public transport
companies and intermodal points were combined and results were put on maps with isochrones. These results were
linked with socio-economic statistical data.
The diagnosis was the result of a SWOT analysis in which observations (strengths and weaknesses) and prospects
(opportunities and threats) were determined. There were many exchanges and discussions with the different regional
authorities, transport companies, the federal government and the offices of the Brussels ministers to address
regional challenges, key levers for action in the mobility area and the possible effects of these actions on the five key
challenges (globalization, environment, employment, training and education, the fight against poverty, the
breakdown of the city and the rapid population growth).

European institutions and/or from structural funds. The opportunity to learn from each other and from other CIVITAS cities was a
key success factor. But it was not only the transfer of knowledge but also the encouraging examples that helped to break initial
reluctance and enable innovation. Furthermore, the project has shown that learning is not limited to project partners; various
measures were taken up by cities outside the project. In some cases, the project influenced national legislation, leaving a
lasting legacy. ELAN cities benefit not only from methodologies tested in the project, such as user needs surveys, traffic
volume counting of all modes, citizen and stakeholder engagement or sound evaluation. New structures and
policies that institutionalise change, such as the public transport authority in Porto, the mobility agency in Gent or the
transport policy in Ljubljana are proof of this. Different types of measures are structured around 8 work packages or topics:
• Alternative fuels and clean vehicles
• Collective transport and intermodal
integration
• Demand management
• Influencing travel behaviour
• Safety, security and health
• Innovative mobility service
• Energy logistic freight logistics
• Transport Telematics
Main activities
Tractebel Engineering coordinated and defined the evaluation activities of the implemented measures in line with the request and
guidelines of the EC and other CIVITAS + projects, and in agreement with the Local Site Evaluation Managers of each city. For
each of the measures the impact and effects were measured and reported (impact evaluation), and the process of the
implementation is evaluated (process evaluation).

Multimodal traffic model, parking study, Park & Ride location and simulation, publics transport studies
Project description and objectives
Since 1995, TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING was involved in the conception and the development of the mobility policy in the city of
Ghent. This collaboration was established and further enforced in several sub-projects with a broad range of focus fields.
In the recent update of the Mobility Plan, the focus was on topics such as low-speed zones, comprehensive cycling policy and
freight. For these fields, a more in-depth research was carried out, by aligning the different views of the stakeholders. Other themes
that are considered are environment, quantitative research and accessibility.
Today, the mobility policy of the city of Ghent has a strong reputation in the field of public space management, providing space to
all road users. Important measures are therefore:
• Reducing transit traffic in the city centre, making transit traffic physically impossible by a circulation plan with loops that
lead private car use back to the ring road
• Priority for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport, that are not affected by the loop system proposed in the circulation
plan, thanks to inventive public space arrangements
• Coherent parking policy, including the installation of dynamic signalisation leading car drivers to public parking and a tariff
system that is beneficial for the inhabitants
• Measures to encourage non-motorised transport and the design of pedestrian areas in the city centre
• Public transport offer.
Main activities
TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING has completed several detailed studies as part of the implementation of the Mobility Plan, some
examples are listed hereafter.
- Multimodal traffic model: The city of Ghent has had a large urban model with specific features such as a bike route
model for many years. After an update of the base year of this model to 2007, the city wished to develop two prognosis
scenarios, for the year 2015 and 2030. This means that all spatial and infrastructural projects will be inventoried and that
model networks and OD-matrices for each of these prognosis years were be made. The model was also be elaborated
with the functionality to calculate the traffic demand of new projects (both housing projects and industrial projects).
- Parking study (public parking & P&R): A first study was conceived to optimize the management of Park&Ride in
the city of Ghent. Quality criteria have been defined and applied to the different (existing and future) P&R locations.
Afterwards, recommendations for the management of P&R were proposed. In addition, the city of Ghent has updated its
existing system of dynamic route guidance and traffic information to users. TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING has studied
how this project could take shape. Organizational, planning, technological and technical aspects have been successively
analysed.
- Public transport studies: These studies are carried out on behalf of the public transport operator (De LijnOost-
Vlaanderen). Among others, the following topics were addressed: the extension of the tram network, the consequent
reorganization of the bus network and the interchange with the railway network. Concrete proposals are made to improve
the commercial speeds on the main tram and bus lines.

We combine all our competencies in a creative way, thus playing a key role in developing the cities and our environment of the future. We seek the right balance to make our natural and built environment a sustainable source of progress and development Based on the state of the art in transportation, Tractebel Engineering advices and develops strategic transport plans varying from cities to urban and regional areas. Our experts combine our technical, socio-economic and environmental expertise to bring an integrated package which will address all aspects of the project. Tractebel Engineering uses a state-of-the-art approach based on intermodal and integrated transport planning for dealing with mobility issues.

  • 13. 20b Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, FCT Abuja, Nigeria a global and coherent way. Traffic planning comprises all actions needed to prepare and formulate the traffic and mobility policy and to formulate the plans to execute the policy. Tractebel Engineering acts as a policy advisor in the realisation of measures positively affecting the mobility of tomorrow. 1.4.2.1.1 Traffic planning An efficient traffic policy is only possible when approached in a global and coherent way. Traffic planning comprises all actions needed to prepare and formulate the traffic and mobility policy and to formulate the plans to execute the policy. Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure acts as a policy support advisor in the realisation of measures positively affecting our mobility. Mobility studies Mobility studies are integrated studies that match supply and demand of traffic in a municipality, city, region or province and optimise trips while taking into account safety, quality of life and sustainability. The different transportation modes are analysed in a coherent way. A mobility plan is realized in cooperation with policy makers, transport suppliers and multiple user groups. All stakeholders have a say in the process, in order to obtain a coherent, supported final result. The municipal mobility plan is a crucial component of this facet of mobility planning. Mobility impact studies The implantation of a new activity, such as a school, an industrial area, a shopping mall or a hospital, always brings along additional traffic. A mobility impact study assesses the impact of the project in advance and formulates recommendations to tackle this impact in a sustainable way. The accessibility of a specific location is analysed, taking into account the different transportation means. In a first phase the existing traffic flows are analysed. Next, the traffic flows that are estimated to be generated by the new activity are added to assess the future traffic situation. The last phase is the formulation of recommendations to improve the accessibility. These recommendations are elaborated in detail and discussed with the parties involved. This type of study can be part of an environmental impact study. Public transport planning In order to match the public transport supply with the mobility needs, a detailed analysis is made from both supply and demand. State-of-the-art multimodal traffic models are used to develop and design new networks. These allow as well assessing the accessibility, modal split and potential travellers, aiming to coordinate the policy. Consultancy services 15 February 2015
  • 14. 20b Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, FCT Abuja, Nigeria Transportation master plans To underpin the policy orientation in the medium term, guiding structures are developed in relation to the spatial design plans. These plans are the basis for an integrated and continuous traffic policy and for the development of concrete projects. This does not only imply absorbing the road traffic, but also streamlining the traffic flows. The integrated approach improves traffic safety for the different transport means, allows prioritizing public transport and soft modes of transport and gives back the original residential function to streets and squares. Traffic signalling The development of a signalling plan requires sufficient attention for the functionality, the readability and the efficiency of the traffic system. Taking into account the requirements concerning individual signage, legislation and flexibility, the system has to guide all travellers in a clear, fluent and efficient way to their destination. Good signalling is the most adequate way to steer traffic flows, as illustrated by car parking signal systems. Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure have been for many years now a leading player in different fields of traffic signalling. Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure has managed and is managing the signalization for several important wh. Urban development plans The (re)development of streets, squares, bus stations and parking lots require a thorough analysis of the preferred functioning of this space: how do we want the users to behave? To this purpose a preliminary functional design is made to serve as a basis for future execution plans of the project or (re)development. When necessary, the further process is accompanied until the realization phase. In this context Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure has ample experience in the development of modular dossiers, particularly the starting memorandum. Starting from a strong vision and the aim for feasible solutions and designs, Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure obtains an efficient approach in developing these designs. 1.4.2.1.2 Mobility management Company and school mobility plans Home-to-work and home-to-school travel constitute the largest part of the daily driven distance by private vehicles. The set-up and implementation of a mobility plan for a company, business parks or schools aims at reducing the total driven vehicle kilometres.

  • 15. 20b Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, FCT Abuja, Nigeria alternatives are developed, such as cycling routes, matching public transport, carpooling … Providing individual travelling advice and an intensive guidance encourages the use of alternative modes of transport. Traffic models An important part of TTE-Consultancy’s activities are situated in the field of traffic modelling. Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure has gained considerable experience in simulating traffic flows in a computer model, on a regional, municipal and city level. These simulation models allow making planning estimates for future traffic situations, as a result of changes in the traffic circulation, the realization of new roads, implantation of new activities… Macro models are used for this purpose.Besides this, Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure frequently uses micro models, to simulate roads and crossings in a dynamic way. This simulation technique imitates real traffic flows to determine the best solution for a crossing, for example the choice between a roundabout or a traffic light controlled junction (and the optimal traffic light settings, road design…). Communication During the last years, communication has become an essential part of the planning process. Also Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure considers stakeholder participation as a crucial element in planning, and invests therefore strongly in engaging all stakeholders in an active way. This comprises a broad variety of activities, such as the qualitative presentation of the different planning phases, steering groups, traffic commissions, municipal counselling commissions, attending participation moments and information sittings to the general public, composing leaflets to inform about participation opportunities and decisions… 1.4.2.1.3 Telematics Telematics are used to control the circular course of traffic by electronic instruments, in order to utilise the maximal road capacity and to watch over the safety. Traffic data are detected, processed and used to generate useful information. This system is applied to guide both individual as collective transport. The increasing traffic pressure takes its toll. More and more measures are required to streamline traffic flows. Tractebel Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure is specialized in providing state-of- the-art expertise in the design of interactive or traffic dependent managing systems for traffic lights and signalling. Consultancy services 17 February 2015
  • 16. 20b Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, FCT Abuja, Nigeria More often the focus goes to public transport priority and traffic management on urban networks. An important evolution in mobility management is the increasing use of traffic management systems on highways. Traffic information and speed control are the key aspects here. In the European context TRACTEBEL- Engineering Smart and Sustainable Infrastructure co-operates in the conceptual development and pilot projects of innovative signalling techniques and telematics applications to release the obstructed high-speed traffic. Several applications have been developed by Tractebel-Engineering: Management of urban networks; Public transport priority management; Traffic guidance and information. 1.4.2.1.4 Environmental Impact Assessments Carrying out an environmental impact assessment is often a mandatory requirement for major infrastructure projects. The project initiator is bound by an EIA to factor in already at an early stage the human and environmental impact and to examine how this impact can be reduced and what compensatory measures can be proposed for this. These studies must be arranged by an accredited coordinator and expert, in accordance with the guidelines set out by the EIA service. The coordinators at Tractebel Engineering already have more than 20 years’ experience of these EIAs, and Tractebel Engineering has more than 10 accredited EIA experts in-house. 1.4.3 Financial Capability (Consolidated turnover [1] ) The main financial figures of Tractebel Engineering (consolidated) in the five most recent years, in kEur, are summarized in the table below.

Scenariosfor mobility and accessibility in 2040 were established and an action program for the interim periods until 2040 has beendrafted. To analyse the transport and traffic of the Brussels-Capital Region.A large number of future evolutions of mobility and accessibility in 2040 had to be defined and developed. These changes took into account the population evolution, the displacement pattern and the changing modes of transportation. Main activities Tractebel Engineering analysed the transport and traffic in the Brussels-Capital Region in Belgium. First of all, a diagnosis of the evolution of the traffic and transport during the last 10 years has been performed , combined with a benchmark study to comparable areas in the world. To study the accessibility in the whole region, information from various public transport companies and intermodal points were combined and results were put on maps with isochrones. These results were linked with socio-economic statistical data. The diagnosis was the result of a SWOT analysis in which observations (strengths and weaknesses) and prospects (opportunities and threats) were determined. There were many exchanges and discussions with the different regional authorities, transport companies, the federal government and the offices of the Brussels ministers to address regional challenges, key levers for action in the mobility area and the possible effects of these actions on the five key challenges (globalization, environment, employment, training and education, the fight against poverty, the breakdown of the city and the rapid population growth).

This collaboration was established and further enforced in several sub-projects with a broad range of focus fields. In the recent update of the Mobility Plan, the focus was on topics such as low-speed zones, comprehensive cycling policy and freight. For these fields, a more in-depth research was carried out, by aligning the different views of the stakeholders. Other themes that are considered are environment, quantitative research and accessibility. Today, the mobility policy of the city of Ghent has a strong reputation in the field of public space management, providing space to all road users. Important measures are therefore: • Reducing transit traffic in the city centre, making transit traffic physically impossible by a circulation plan with loops that lead private car use back to the ring road • Priority for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport, that are not affected by the loop system proposed in the circulation plan, thanks to inventive public space arrangements • Coherent parking policy, including the installation of dynamic signalisation leading car drivers to public parking and a tariff system that is beneficial for the inhabitants • Measures to encourage non-motorised transport and the design of pedestrian areas in the city centre • Public transport offer. Main activities TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING has completed several detailed studies as part of the implementation of the Mobility Plan, some examples are listed hereafter. - Multimodal traffic model: The city of Ghent has had a large urban model with specific features such as a bike route model for many years. After an update of the base year of this model to 2007, the city wished to develop two prognosis scenarios, for the year 2015 and 2030. This means that all spatial and infrastructural projects will be inventoried and that model networks and OD-matrices for each of these prognosis years were be made. The model was also be elaborated with the functionality to calculate the traffic demand of new projects (both housing projects and industrial projects). - Parking study (public parking & P&R): A first study was conceived to optimize the management of Park&Ride in the city of Ghent. Quality criteria have been defined and applied to the different (existing and future) P&R locations. Afterwards, recommendations for the management of P&R were proposed. In addition, the city of Ghent has updated its existing system of dynamic route guidance and traffic information to users. TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING has studied how this project could take shape. Organizational, planning, technological and technical aspects have been successively analysed. - Public transport studies: These studies are carried out on behalf of the public transport operator (De LijnOost- Vlaanderen). Among others, the following topics were addressed: the extension of the tram network, the consequent reorganization of the bus network and the interchange with the railway network. Concrete proposals are made to improve the commercial speeds on the main tram and bus lines. Consultancy services 40 February 2015
