Planning for future transport infrastructure requires a comprehensive and innovative methodology – one that adapts to changing demand, decisions and data.
At SYSTRA, our specialist teams use advanced technologies to model and optimize transport networks effectively. Coupled with sustainable and environmental considerations, we’re able to better predict future demand, route requirements and carbon efficient practices.
Our priority is modelling integrated systems that combine modes of transport, such as rail, bus, and cycling, to provide seamless and efficient mobility solutions.
Finding the right solutions to enhance connectivity and accessibility ensures convenient, safe and reliable travel options for all users.
A fast moving market requires successful transport models to be adaptable, dynamic and robust.
Simply adopting previously accepted truths and expectations could result in outcomes that not only overlook future needs, but in fact greatly hinder opportunities for generations to come.
Modelling World 2025 will focus on excellence, innovation and diversity across the transport modelling and data science professions.
Reconnect with clients, colleagues, partners and innovators to challenge whether transport models are fit for purpose and how we can adjust our thinking.
SYSTRA’s use of integrated technologies, such as data analytics, simulation tools, and digital twins, allows our specialists to model and enhance transport networks now, and into the future.
Planning and modelling for the infrastructure of tomorrow involves designing systems that are not only resilient to change, but also adaptable to technological advancements and societal shifts. This includes considering factors such as climate change, population growth and urbanisation. Learn more about our modelling capabilities.

Paramics designs and evaluates road transport network
Our Paramics software allows our specialists to construct detailed road network models to provide insights that support traffic management strategies.
We’re able to showcase our models through robust 2D and 3D visualization capabilities, and ensure reliable analysis to accurately aid evidence-based decision making.
Facilitating walking and informing local plans
The Walkability tool offers the ability to identify levels of walking access in an area to key services while also helping visualize walking demand.
Our teams are able to sense check land use plans and network changes through the lightweight and efficient process, and take the data away to help inform active travel policy making.
Optimizing the design and operation of EV charging infrastructure
Opticharge as a digital optimization tool supports the planning and operation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, with a particular focus on bus and fleet electrification projects.
It is designed by our SYSTRA teams to help operators, authorities, and planners make the most efficient decisions regarding the location, sizing, and operational strategy for EV charging systems.
Decarbonising and depolluting your transport network
Eneval is a powerful in-house environmental emissions modelling tool, helping access the impact and pollution across a defined area.
It can determine the origins of carbon emissions and help identify sources of pollution.
The real strength comes in the ability to measure the contribution of emission reduction polices and strategies, and the impact on transport.
