The need to support investment decisions based on ever more precise demand and/or operational scenarios has become an urgent necessity. The use of tools for economic and financial analysis to assess project viability has become mandatory. These tests allow us to understand the financing needs of each project, the benefits of each project to society, environmental impacts, the effect on jobs and on the wealth of society overall, among others. This type of analysis also allows us to improve decision-making regarding the design / operational model of different transport systems, particularly regarding frequency of services, pricing strategy, the scaling operation in terms of rolling stock, and to understand how different investment scenarios and different operational and macro economic developments may affect project viability and sustainability.

The growing involvement of the private sector in financing and developing solutions for transport and mobility, whether in infrastructure or services, requires knowledge and skills suited to addressing the various dimensions and perspectives of the delivery of such solutions.

The need to improve road traffic flow in urban environments, coupled with the need to integrate aspects of urban design and the operation of mass transit systems, is one of the major challenges facing urban areas. Moreover, new urban developments are typically generating mobility needs. Traffic and Accessibility Studies have gained special importance in recent years, ever since they have been required by law to be submitted for municipal licensing, regardless of their type and size. Topics such as parking, road safety, loading and unloading regulations, and pre-dimensioning accesses are integral components of our studies due to their inseparability from the analysis of traffic conditions.

Logistics is seen today as almost the new paradigm in the differentiation and competitiveness of economic agents, a result of economic globalization, changes in the production and distribution of products and in consumer habits. In parallel to these global trends, there has been a growing national concern about coordination and infra-structurization of the country`s logistics, promoting rationalization of consumed resources as a key step to ensuring economic and territorial development. Planning and investment in this sector are key to improving the competitiveness of the national productive and business fabric, and of the agents associated with transport and logistics.
