BRT Corridor Analysis
Corridor-level demand and modal shift analysis run in-house — before any infrastructure decision is made. Agent-based simulation of the Pink Line BRT corridor, in partnership with Replan and Netivei Ayalon.

Testing the Pink Line Before It's Built
Bus Rapid Transit promises light-rail performance at a fraction of the cost — but only if the corridor design actually pulls drivers out of their cars. Together with Replan and Netivei Ayalon, we run agent-based simulations of the Pink Line BRT corridor to answer that question before a single lane is repainted.

Corridor-Level
Not a black-box regional forecast — a focused, high-resolution view of one corridor: demand, boardings, travel times, station by station.
Modal Shift
Every simulated traveler chooses between car, bus and BRT. The output is the number that matters: how many drivers actually switch.
In-House
The analysis runs inside the organization — scenarios are iterated in days, not procured in months, before any infrastructure decision is made.
The approach / 01
The Pink Line corridor is modeled in Replan's simulation platform — network, stations, dedicated lanes and signal priority — alongside a calibrated baseline of today's traffic.
The approach / 02
A synthetic population of agents, each with its own daily activity schedule, travels through the corridor. Every agent chooses its mode and route — private car, bus or BRT — reacting to travel times, service frequency and congestion.
The approach / 03
Scenarios are compared head-to-head against the baseline: corridor-level demand, boarding profiles, travel-time savings, and the modal shift from private cars to the new BRT service.
The approach / 04
Results arrive in days, not months — run in-house, so the corridor design can be iterated and refined before any infrastructure decision is locked in.

What you are seeingSimulation of the Pink Line corridor. The visualization supports scenario analysis rather than showing an implemented service.
The approach
Powered by Replan
The analysis runs on Replan's cloud simulation platform — purpose-built for testing transit scenarios with agent-based modeling. The partnership brings a capability that used to require months-long consulting studies directly into the planning organization.

From evidence to a decision.
A BRT corridor is a decades-long commitment of road space, budget and political capital. Getting the demand and modal-shift picture before the design is locked means the infrastructure that gets built is the infrastructure the corridor actually needs.
A BRT decision reshapes a corridor for decades. Simulating it first — in-house, in days — is the cheapest insurance a planning agency can buy.Request Case Study
