PDF documents for traffic engineers

2 min read·26 August 2027

As a traffic engineer or transport planner you work with traffic count reports, CAD export drawings, road safety audits, and planning policy supporting statements. PDFrust helps you merge large technical documents and prepare them for public consultation and planning submission.

Bundling traffic count reports and data analyses

A traffic study includes count reports (per movement), volume maps, conflict point analysis, and mitigation recommendations. With PDFrust you merge count reports from multiple sites and periods into one complete file for the client or local authority.

Processing CAD drawings and layout plans

CAD exports (AutoCAD, QGIS) of design drawings and layout sketches are generated as separate PDF files. Merge multiple design alternatives into one comparison report or bundle all drawing layers (alignment, dimensions, markings) into one technical file.

Assembling road safety audits

A road safety audit (RSA) consists of the auditor report, photographic annexes of problem locations, the CAD overview, and the recommendation table. Merge all components into one RSA file using the merge function. Rotate photos that are in the wrong orientation after scanning.

Compressing planning policy statements

Planning applications for new development or infrastructure projects require a transport statement with large annexes (count reports, junction capacity calculations). Compress the complete supporting document package for email submission to the local authority or for planning portal upload.

Securing consultation documents for publication

Traffic plans put out for public consultation must not contain editable elements. Secure the final plan with a password or as a read-only PDF for publication in the planning consultation procedure. PDFrust processes everything locally — no sensitive design data in the cloud.
