With our expertise and patent-pending RDI technology, ViaCity solutions deliver powerful connectivity results to help assess gaps, analyze alternatives, and rank projects in transportation access, safety, smart growth, and active living.
- Measure the benefits of pedestrian changes near a transit station, or assess the impact of new stops
- See how bike routes improve access to workplaces
- Show how new street connections improve circulation and emergency response in your neighborhoods
- Prioritize sidewalk projects for your schools
- Correlate connectivity scores with land use and socioeconomic data
- Share easy-to-understand maps of your results
ViaCity Nuts & Bolts
Powerful, detailed, flexible connectivity analysis for non-motorized planning, transit, and street planning
- Calculate connection quality with patent-pending RDI technology
- Determine the most desirable and direct routes between many-to-many and many-to-one origin-destination pairings
- Quantify connectivity at the parcel level – score individual homes, businesses, and stations
- Analyze and score large areas, including entire city networks or neighborhoods
- Run “what-if” scenarios on planned improvements, quantifying relative impact of planned changes
- Show connectivity maps before and after improvements, plus maps of parcels benefiting most from changes
- Calculate baseline connectivity, or include weightings for land use mix, density, and other data
- Include route impedance factors for the presence of sidewalks for pedestrians, topography for cyclists, and other route barriers and challenges
- Leverage common ESRI GIS data and tools, such as street centerline files and tax parcel data
