DATA PREPARATION

Collating information from different sources and in different formats, with subsequent integration and re-formatting to suit specific requirements of various transport planning applications requires a structured and disciplined approach.  We design, code, test and implement routines that do these types of data preparation tasks to suit client requirements.  This provides quick, accurate and auditable processes, so that clients can concentrate on transport planning rather than byte management.

For close integration of data, even for similar projects, the process is generally different each time, the data structures and parsing requirements are also at slight variance.  Old routines can be readily modified to deal with new situations.
We offer this service for all manner of data, including:

• Unusual data distillation from field surveys
• Inputs for microsimulation and other models, like traffic counts, travel time surveys, inventory, bus schedules, bus stop parameters
• Processing of output data from all sorts of analytical frameworks
• Integration of land use and transport data to produce disaggregate future year demand matrices
