A multi-disciplinary team of specialists from SYSTRA have been working since October 2024 to enhance connectivity for users across Dublin as part of the BusConnects Dublin project on behalf of the National Transport Authority (NTA).
The BusConnects Dublin, Core Bus Corridors Infrastructure Works Program (CBCIW), is a 10-year program aimed at designing 12 bus corridors. The aim is to deliver a substantial upgrade to walking, cycling and bus infrastructure across Dublin. This will lead to greater reliability and improved journey times with better access to housing, employment and essential services such as healthcare and education. In addition, it will improve the resilience of critical infrastructure and help address climate change.
A focus on soft modes of transport
SYSTRA consultants are providing multi-disciplinary technical expertise and programme management capability working for the NTA’s Client Partner for delivery services Jacobs, alongside Arup and Chandler KBS. Together they are working on approximately 230 kilometres of continuous bus priority corridors and around 200 kilometres of cycle paths and improved pedestrian facilities.
Digital and data expertise
Our teams have also been selected to review the digital and data requirements of the CBCIW, including data management standards, processes and procedures for data validation/assurances, and the various IT system specifications.
This will support operational readiness of CBCIW by providing those contributing to the project with the IT systems and information required plus skills to carry out their daily work.
Expertise in microsimulation
SYSTRA has experts in the use of microsimulation models to visualise complex multimodal projects in 3D space. For the BusConnects programme, the Vissim and Viswalk models (PTV), were used to predict the operational impact of bus and cycle lane projects on road corridors.
Solid experience in similar schemes
For SYSTRA, the work follows previous significant involvement in BusConnects schemes since 2018, including supporting the delivery of the Dublin and Cork BusConnects Environmental Impact Assessment Reports, and other bus priority projects and active travel enhancements.
