Roads & Highways
The development of demand forecasts and revenue in transport systems is a challenge whose accuracy is a major concern of the various entities involved in the various planning processes in the road sector. The growing involvement of private sector in financing and developing solutions for mobility and accessibility requires strong and robust approaches for assessing the profitability of projects in which demand forecasts occupy a central place.
Our experience
Our experience in designing market research plans for the different models of individual, public and multimodal transport, with modal choice between public and individual/private transport, allows us to obtain data more economically and effectively, and can be instrumental in maximizing the utility of available databases and the identification of additional information required, given the multiplicity of levels of information we work with.
As a result of the transversality of our experience in investment projects, client profiles, geographic and cultural environments, we are able to ensure an approach which is consistent with the proposed objectives.
We use modelling software for road systems, forecasting, and risk analysis. With CUBE modelling software at the base of our platform, work developed in other platforms can also be accommodated by our team.
Our positioning is based on supporting our clients in their proximity with customers, focus on objectives, and on supporting negotiating positions between grantor and concessionaire, ensuring independent advice to all parties who contract us.
