Our insights blend quality data, deep experience, and careful consideration of the world around us.
Insights draw connections and consider impacts through the lens of industry trends and conditions. They turn data into direction. We’re always considering how the behaviors of people and the systems around them are evolving and how to use these findings to shape a more successful future for the world around us.
Blog posts supply careful consideration of industry trends and conditions.
Strengthening Scenario Planning: How VisionEval Helps Planners Quantify the Measures that Matter
State departments of transportation and regional agencies face increasingly complex planning challenges. How are internal and external factors changing? What is the right mix of strategies to address those and make progress toward our mobility,…
Q&A with Joel Freedman
Travel model development involves creating sophisticated simulations of transportation systems to predict travel patterns and behaviors. These simulations enable planners and policymakers to make informed decisions that enhance communities’ mobility and improve outcomes. RSG’s experts…
Creating a Quieter World: How Noise Control Engineering Improves Community Outcomes
Our world is noisy—from lawnmowers, cars, and other anthropogenic sounds in rural areas to the train, plane, and traffic noise in urban environments. But even if you’ve grown accustomed to hearing the cacophony of city…
White papers help clients make decisions through data and in-depth analysis of industry topics.

An Advanced Activity-Based Travel Demand Model Built by and for Users
Activity-based models can answer today’s complex transportation planning questions. But only ActivitySim offers access to a growing community of expert users—and so much more. Read more »
Three Considerations Around Drone Noise and Strategies for Mitigation
The path ahead for drones looks more promising than ever. But as drones take off, noise remains an unresolved issue despite research confirming the sound from their operations is uniquely annoying. Read more »
Forecasting Tools in a Time of Disruption and Uncertainty
Evaluating complex systems to forecast future conditions has never been simple, but disruptive technological changes and outside shocks to the system (like the COVID-19 pandemic) have further challenged practitioners. Strategic models can help. Read more »
Case studies demonstrate deep expertise and a commitment to solving complex problems.
