Dammam Municipality has appointed “ARE” to carry out traffic study and its analysis on selected roads in the Dammam Metropolitan Area with an aim to improve smooth flow of traffic in and around Dammam.
The project comprises data collection by conducting source destination surveys, stated preference surveys, traffic counts & classification resulting in a database which will be fully integrated into a GIS model of the region. The next stage involves the analysis of data collected for the development of Traffic Analysis Zones, Traffic Networks, and Travel Models; their analysis, rectification and automation. Finally, the developed models will be tested and an appraisal of the available alternatives will be performed culminating in the development of a preferred transportation system for the region
