  • Kaiapoi Heavy Vehicle Tracking Tests

    Project Objective: 
    Testing to confirm heavy vehicle tracking curves for proposed intersection upgrade

    We don't just rely on high tech software, but when we have to design to low tolerances, we do real-world simulation testing to confirm design parameters and build stakeholder support!

  • University to City Cycle Path Scoping Study

    Project Objective: 
    To identify route and design options for a separated bicycle facility (SBF)

    This scoping study for a separated bicycle facility (where cyclists are physically separated from motor vehicles) analysed a variety of routes and design cross-sections between the University of Canterbury and the Christchurch central city. The project, which preceded the Christchurch earthquakes, provides valuable information on the feasibility and costs of separated cycle facilities. There has been considerable public support for cycling through the CCC's public consultation on how to rebuild Christchurch.

  • Implementing a Central City Slow Core in Christchurch

    Project Objective: 
    Provide transport planning and engineering advice for a reduced speed zone ("slow core") for central Christchurch

    Reduced traffic speeds have been shown to improve central city liveability and street activity levels. This ViaStrada project suggested the boundaries, specific techniques, design concepts, and implementation steps needed to create a pedestrian-friendly "slow core" for Christchurch.

  • Central City Pedestrian Level of Service

    Project Objective: 
    Investigate ways of improving pedestrian level of service (LOS) at traffic signals in the central city

    Pedestrian LOS methodology outputPedestrian LOS methodology outputChristchurch City Council commissioned an investigation into ways of improving pedestrian level of service (LOS) at traffic signals in the central city. The underlying hypothesis of this project is that improving the pedestrian level of service of the central city will increase prosperity.

    ViaStrada developed a method of measuring pedestrian LOS and applied this to 32 signalised intersections with 110 pedestrian crossings to develop a detailed proposal for each.
