AI+ Traffic & Transportation Planners

Model, Plan and Optimise Transport Networks with AI

The TA is done. The documentation isn't.

You spend more time writing about transport work than doing it. Transport Assessments, Environmental Impact Assessment chapters, consultation responses, alternatives matrices — the documentation burden is real, and it grows every year. This book gives you a practical framework for using AI across the full transport planning workflow: from traffic data narration and TA drafting to GIS output summaries, public consultation at scale, and scheme design documentation. Ten chapters, 28 prompt templates, and the ROUTE Protocol — the five-question professional accountability chain for AI-assisted statutory submissions. Built by an AI engineering firm for transport planners who know the work — and want AI to handle more of the writing around it.

Inside
  • 28 ready-to-use prompt templates for TA sections, consultation FAQs, EIA chapters, PTAL narratives, and scheme design matrices
  • The ROUTE Protocol — a five-question accountability chain for AI-assisted statutory submissions
  • A clear division of labour between specialist modelling tools and AI — so you never confuse what AI can do with what it can't
  • Chapter-by-chapter workflows for traffic data narration, stakeholder engagement, environmental assessment, and GIS output writing
  • A 90-day adoption plan for individual planners, team leads, and practice directors
Who this is for

Traffic and transportation planners working in consultancies, local highway authorities, national transport agencies, and urban development bodies. Typically degree-qualified in civil engineering, transport planning, geography, or urban planning — or working towards chartered status via CIHT, TPS, or ICE. 3–15 years of experience. Uses specialist software (VISSIM, SATURN, CUBE, AIMSUN, ArcGIS, Paramics) but is not a programmer.

Also for:Highway engineers, urban planners, transport policy advisors, and project managers working on infrastructure delivery. Also relevant for transport consultancy team leaders and directors evaluating AI adoption across their practices.

You’ll be able to
  • Apply AI tools to traffic data analysis, demand forecasting narration, and network assessment tasks
  • Evaluate AI-generated transport document sections critically before use in statutory planning submissions
  • Design AI-assisted workflows for transport reports, scheme design documentation, and environmental assessments
  • Build a reusable AI prompt library for transportation planning tasks including TA drafting, public consultation, and GIS narration
  • Develop a 90-day AI adoption plan for a transportation planning team or project
