Design & Traffic Engineering
We explore better approaches to roads and bridges through the dual perspectives of design and traffic engineering.
We explore better approaches to roads and bridges through the dual perspectives of design and traffic engineering.
We provide design services centered on bridges and other civil engineering structures managed by the Metropolitan Expressway, expressway companies, and local governments, as well as traffic engineering services involving the analysis and review of road traffic conditions.
Civil Engineering Design
Our design services cover a wide range of areas, including new bridge construction design, seismic design, repair and reinforcement design for civil engineering structures, and proximity impact assessment.
-
Bridge Design
We provide comprehensive bridge design services, ranging from bridge replacement studies to structural type selection and construction planning.
-
Repair & Reinforcement Design
Drawing on our extensive track record, we propose repair methods for bridges and other civil engineering structures and study repair solutions using new construction techniques.
-
Seismic Strengthening Design (Bridges)
For bridges designed and constructed under older standards, we select reinforcement methods that satisfy current standards and propose the optimal reinforcement approach based on site conditions and other factors.
-
Proximity Impact Assessment
When new buildings are planned in close proximity to the Metropolitan Expressway, we formulate investigation plans and conduct FEM analysis to assess the impact on existing civil engineering structures, ensuring the continued safe use of the expressway for its customers.
-
BCP Formulation Support
We provide support for the development of manuals to ensure that Metropolitan Expressway operations can continue safely and without delay even in the event of a large-scale disaster.
-
Construction Plan Review
We develop appropriate construction plans for structural repair, reinforcement, and bridge replacement works.
-
Support for Service Life Extension Planning
We provide support for developing repair plans to ensure that aging infrastructure can continue to be used safely and reliably into the future.
-
Landscape Design Review
When new structures are constructed or existing ones modified, we consider designs that preserve the surrounding landscape and prepare design proposals using perspective renderings and photomontages.
Facility Design
Drawing on years of experience in Metropolitan Expressway construction and management, as well as accumulated inspection and maintenance data, we provide optimal repair design services. We carefully examine the design philosophy and inspection and maintenance history of ancillary facilities and formulate repair plans with an eye to future operational needs, proposing the most appropriate design and construction plans based on the current condition of each facility.
Traffic Engineering
To help users travel more comfortably on the Metropolitan Expressway, we provide road traffic information services, study traffic operations, analyze traffic and congestion countermeasures, and examine road safety measures.
Road Traffic Information Services
We operate an information website (mew-ti) and social media channels (X/LINE) that provide real-time traffic information to customers using the Metropolitan Expressway. Through mew-ti, users can quickly access the latest information on traffic congestion, road restrictions, and the fastest routes from entrance to exit on the Metropolitan Expressway network.
Traffic Operations Planning and Review
With the aim of improving traffic flow and ensuring safety through information provision on the Metropolitan Expressway, we study the enhancement of traffic control system functions, including the effective utilization and improvement of variable message signs and other information provision tools.
Traffic Analysis and Congestion Countermeasures
We analyze and review traffic conditions and congestion patterns on the Metropolitan Expressway, working to provide smooth and comfortable road services.
Road Safety Countermeasures
We conduct detailed analysis of vehicle behavior in traffic accidents on the Metropolitan Expressway, organizing baseline data and developing road safety improvement plans.
Impact Assessment, Measurement Planning, and Inspection for Construction Works Adjacent to the Metropolitan Expressway
At Shutoko Engineering, we provide technical support and assessment services for planned new structures along the Metropolitan Expressway through three stages: proximity impact assessment, measurement planning, and pre- and post-construction inspection. We assist at every stage of the proximity consultation process to ensure smooth coordination between project owners, contractors, and the Metropolitan Expressway authority. Please feel free to contact us.
