The Traffic Group prepared a campus-wide traffic study to review existing conditions and provide recommendations for improvements. On-site circulation was reviewed through the use of ground-level cameras and drone technology and analysis was undertaken using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) to quantify delay. Queuing of passenger vehicles and buses was also observed to quantify storage needs and pedestrian crossings were reviewed to ensure safety. Coordination with stakeholders was necessary to account for the Campus Master Plan and future development projects on site. Conceptual plans for short-term, mid-term, and long-term improvements were developed for potential future implementation.
