What We Do

Engineering Solutions for Public Infrastructure

From traffic impact studies to full corridor studies to traffic signal design, CANDIE delivers the technical depth and government requirement compliance experience that municipalities,  counties and state agencies depend on.

Traffic Studies

Data-driven analysis that informs sound infrastructure decisions.

Our traffic engineering team conducts comprehensive traffic studies that meet city, county state and federal standards, giving agencies the evidence they need to plan, fund, and mitigate impacts to infrastructure investments.

01

Traffic Impact Assessments

Evaluate the effects of new development or roadway changes on the surrounding network, including level-of-service analysis and mitigation recommendations.

02

Volume & Speed Studies

Automated and manual traffic counts, turning movement counts, and speed surveys to establish baseline conditions and support design decisions.

03

Safety Analyses

Crash data review, conflict point identification, and countermeasure recommendations aligned with FHWA's Safe System approach.

04

Signal Warrant Studies

MUTCD-compliant warrant analyses to determine whether traffic control signals are justified at a given location.

05

Pedestrian & Bicycle Studies

Gap acceptance studies, crossing demand analysis, and multimodal level-of-service assessments for active transportation planning.

Traffic Signal Design

Precision signal engineering built for long-term municipal operability.

We design traffic signal systems that optimize intersection performance, reduce delay, and comply with MUTCD and state standards — from single intersections to coordinated corridor systems.

01

Intersection Signal Design

Complete signal design packages including plans, specifications, cost estimates, phasing, timing plans, detection layout, and controller specifications for new and modified intersections.

02

Adaptive Signal Control

Design and specification of adaptive signal control technology (ASCT) systems that respond to real-time traffic conditions across coordinated corridors.

03

Signal Timing Optimization

Retiming programs using SYNCHRO, SimTraffic, and field observation to reduce delay and improve progression along arterial corridors.

04

Pedestrian Signal Upgrades

Accessible pedestrian signal (APS) design and ADA-compliant pushbutton placement to meet federal accessibility requirements.

05

Signal System Modernization

Assessment and replacement of aging signal infrastructure, including controller upgrades, fiber interconnect design, and ATMS integration.

Transportation Planning

Long-range plans that translate mobility data into actionable policy.

CANDIE helps municipalities, regional agencies & state DOT's plan the next generation of transportation infrastructure — integrating roadway, traffic signal systems and ITS networks into coherent, fundable capital programs.

01

Long-Range Transportation Plans

20-year transportation plans that satisfy regional, federal and state planning requirements while reflecting local community priorities and growth projections.

02

Corridor Studies

Detailed analysis of specific roadway corridors to identify deficiencies, evaluate improvement alternatives, and develop preferred improvement programs.

03

Autonomous Vehicle Management

Strategies to modify transportation infrastructure (roads & parking) to best adapt to connected autonomous electric vehicles (RoboTaxis) deployment on city streets, such as more pick-up & drop-off and less parking.

04

Capital Improvement Programming

Prioritization frameworks and funding strategies that align transportation needs with available federal, state, and local resources.

05

Environmental Documentation

NEPA categorical exclusions, environmental assessments, and coordination with resource agencies for federally funded projects.

How We Work

Our Engagement Process

01

Scoping & Discovery

We begin every engagement with a structured scoping session to define project objectives, deliverables, schedule, cost, exclusions and success criteria — before a single hour is billed.

02

Data Collection & Analysis

Field data collection, traffic modeling, and technical analysis conducted by licensed engineers with direct experience on public-sector projects.

03

Deliverable Review

Draft deliverables are reviewed internally before client submission. We do not deliver first drafts — we deliver near-final work.

04

Agency Coordination

We manage coordination with state DOTs, FHWA, and other review agencies on your behalf — reducing the administrative burden on municipal staff.
