SYiVCHRO Hexagon staff has used traffic simulation to answer all of these questions and more. Hexagon's <br />clients have received these results with satisfaction and assurance that the traffic simulation animation is an <br />ideal tool for conveying both the problem and the solution to staff and policy-makers alike. <br />Hexagon Transportation Operations Analysis Project Examples <br />Santana Row <br />San Jose, California <br />Hexagon staff was hired by Federal Realty Investment Trust, aMaryland-based developer interested in <br />redeveloping the Town & Country shopping center on Stevens Creek Boulevard. The existing center had <br />been underutilized for several years and was in need of modification or replacement. Federal proposed an <br />entirely fresh concept of an urban village center with ground floor retail stores and medium density <br />residential units above. Two small hotels were also included in the concept and all parking would be <br />accommodated in hidden parking structures. The concept raised several traffic concerns among neighbors <br />and city officials. Hexagon staff completed a very thorough traffic study that not only satisfied the standard <br />requirements but also included several other operational issues that were important to reviewing agencies. <br />Several traffic mitigation measures were recommended including added turn lanes at intersections and <br />additional lanes at the adjacent I-880/Stevens Creek interchange. The project and mitigation measures were <br />ultimately approved by the San Jose City Council. <br />~ Randy Paul, Project Manager <br />~ Federal Realty Investment Trust <br />.., ..

The <br />purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of roadway improvements proposed to mitigate the <br />~ impacts of planned development in the Edenvale Industrial Area. The traffic operations analysis was <br />conducted using the microscopic simulation software, TRAF-CORSIM.
