A full lifecycle benefit-cost analysis engine combined with live cross-section design — purpose-built for the earliest, highest-leverage stage of corridor planning.
Drag-and-drop geometry control for every corridor element. ROW constraints enforced live. Every adjustment — lane width, bike facility type, parking removal — immediately updates your BCR, NPV, and payback year.
Full net present value, benefit-cost ratio, and discounted payback year across a configurable 5–40 year horizon. Outputs update with every design change — no recalculation step, no waiting.
Five independently calculated benefit streams — safety, cycling mode-shift, active-travel health, travel time, and emissions — all derived from your cross-section geometry and aggregated into a single BCR.
Beyond the core BCA, six extended modules answer the questions that come up in every corridor study — sensitivity, equity, emissions, demand, federal funding eligibility, and side-by-side alternatives comparison.
Ask MERIDIAN anything about BCR, NPV, discount rates, NACTO guidance, or your specific results. Get plain-language answers that are ready to use in briefings and reports — not jargon that needs translation.
One-click presets pre-loaded with geometry and cost assumptions. Start a full BCA in seconds, then customise every parameter to your corridor.
