Projects

Establishing a transport interchange hub along the corridor from central Almaty to the Medeu and Shymbulak ski cluster will help redistribute traffic on this heavily used route. The hub will serve as a new point of attraction, featuring a park-and-ride facility and a terminal station for eco-shuttles providing access to the ski resort.

Summary of accomplishments:

• 
  
• — Development of a conceptual design for a key transport hub enables support for future citywide traffic flows while reducing travel time and environmental impact.
• 
  
• — Analysis of current and projected traffic patterns includes all transfer types.
• 
  
• — Design of new bridges, an electric shuttle hub, and a park-integrated parking facility forms the core of the infrastructure.
• 
  
• — Definition of navigation system requirements prioritizes user experience for pedestrians, public transport users, and drivers.
• 
  
• — Preparation of technical specifications covers bridges, barriers, and wayfinding totems.

The mountain tourism cluster—featuring the Medeu ice rink and Shymbulak ski resort—is a unique attraction not only for Almaty and Kazakhstan but for all of Central Asia. Visitor numbers continue to grow each year, placing increasing strain on existing roads. In light of the cluster’s future development, a comprehensive transport service strategy was required.

Summary of accomplishments:

• 
  
• — Systematized territorial development plans and projected visitor growth over the next 7 years. Identified the year when transport demand will exceed capacity to ensure timely and effective interventions.
• 
  
• — Developed a phased proposal for introducing dedicated lanes and optimizing traffic flow at key intersections.
• 
  
• — Defined parameters for enhancing existing bus routes and proposed new modes of public transport.
• 
  
• — Reallocated parking within the corridor and designed a network of transport hubs with park-and-ride facilities and a strategic pricing policy.
• 
  
• — Conducted a feasibility analysis for extending the existing cable car line.
• 
  
• — Prepared a detailed implementation roadmap, including impact assessment and cost estimates.

The Transport Master Plan for Almaty through 2030 is a strategic document outlining key directions for improving the city’s transport infrastructure.

As part of the master plan, a transport scheme was developed for a 19-kilometer pilot project along Raiymbek Avenue. The strategy is expected to shift 22% of residents from private vehicles to public transport, more than double public transport trips, significantly reduce harmful emissions, and decrease average travel time by 15%.

What was accomplished:

• 
  
• — Conducted sociological and statistical research on residents’ travel behavior.
• 
  
• — Compiled a comprehensive set of urban planning data — from population and job density to traffic flow measurements and consolidated development plans for the city’s built environment and infrastructure.
• 
  
• — Developed and modeled five transport framework scenarios, ranging from minimal to comprehensive.
• 
  
• — Designed a network of high-speed routes and integrated plans for metro expansion and tram line restoration.
• 
  
• — Formulated a public transport infrastructure development program, including layover and turnaround areas, refueling stations, and vehicle typologies.

As part of the development of Tashkent’s comprehensive transport strategy, proposals were prepared for the improvement of road and transport infrastructure, traffic management, pedestrian safety enhancement, and accident reduction on pilot sections of the street network.

A pilot project was implemented for a high-level system for Tashkent’s Situation Center, based on the RITM³ platform.

What was accomplished:

• — Assessed Tashkent’s transport system and defined target indicators and strategic initiatives.
• 
  
• — Developed a prototype MaaS (Mobility as a Service) app to improve urban mobility.
• 
  
• — Prepared recommendations on concession models, with a breakdown by urban mobility aspects.
• — Created transport schemes for pilot corridors across the city.
• 
  
• — Designed the architecture for an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) for future integration.




The integration platform brings together data from traffic lights, detectors, and the incident management system, using a digital twin and a multimodal transport model. This enables real-time monitoring of public transport, road incidents, and infrastructure, improving urban mobility management and road safety.

• The main goals of the project: to increase the capacity of the intersections, reorganize traffic and present solutions for urban design.

•  

• Summary of accomplishments:

•  

• — A comprehensive study of traffic and pedestrian flows was conducted, bottlenecks and conflict points were identified. Individual solutions were developed for key urban arterias.

•  

• — Proposals were given for improvement of sidewalks and creation of infrastructure for people with limited mobility.

Moscow is a rapidly developing city, rightfully considered one of the most comfortable places to live. Urban environment and transport system development are among the city’s top priorities. To ensure high-quality improvements, transport schemes are created to support urban redevelopment projects.

We have developed hundreds of street improvement projects in Moscow, drawing on global best practices for creating safe and comfortable urban environments. The results of implemented projects confirm the effectiveness of this approach:

• 
  
• — Traffic accidents decreased by up to 100%
• 
  
• — Average travel speed increased by 50%
• 
  
• — Pedestrian footfall on Moscow streets grew several times over
• 
  
• — Ridership of surface public transport doubled
• 
  
• — Public transport was given clear priority on the roads

The “Bicycle Guide” is a concentrated collection of insights from those who build urban infrastructure and those who use it. It serves as a roadmap for municipalities that are cautious about new mobility and unsure where to begin.

The guide answers key questions: how to develop cycling infrastructure while improving road safety, how personal mobility contributes to the urban economy, and when a bicycle or scooter can be more convenient than a private car.

A solution book based on international best practices and adapted for Russian cities, the “Bicycle Guide” offers numerous practical examples of micromobility infrastructure implementation.

The document is designed for transport engineers, architects, and city officials tasked with creating safe and user-friendly micromobility infrastructure within the constraints of limited urban space.

Areas around schools and kindergartens require especially careful design focused on maximizing safety. Studies show that in Moscow, one in five collisions involving a child occurs in school zones. Children are among the most vulnerable road users, and the city’s key responsibility is to minimize accidents involving young pedestrians.

What was accomplished:

• 
  
• — Analyzed global best practices for designing safe school zones
• 
  
• — Identified and studied 10 types of schools in Moscow, each representing different conditions and infrastructure
• 
  
• — Developed key principles and proposed specific measures to improve road safety near schools

To create a solutions catalog for improving safety, 10 school types were identified based on principles for organizing surrounding street space. The typology was developed considering factors such as street classification (citywide, district, or local), the presence or absence of a schoolyard, and transit traffic levels.

As a result, key issues were defined for each school type, along with a set of tailored recommendations for the surrounding environment, adapted to the specific characteristics of each category.
