  • The Safe System in Practice – a Sector-Wide Training Programme Climo,H
    The Safe System in Practice – a sector-wide training programme Climo,H. Dugdale, M. Rossiter, L. NZ Transport Agency The Safe System in Practice – a sector-wide training programme H. Climo, M. Dugdale, L. Rossiter NZ Transport Agency ABSTRACT Safer Journeys , New Zealand's road safety strategy to 2020, adopted the Safe System approach. The Safe System in Practice training course was designed in 2011-12 to improve understanding of the approach, and build the skills, confidence and relationships across the sector to implement it. The course, aimed at planners, engineers, roading operations and maintenance managers, educators, enforcers, and other system designers who influence road safety, outlines the Safe System approach and principles, and best practice treatments to strengthen every element of the system. The cross-disciplinary content is developed and presented by experts and is reinforced by an action learning approach using New Zealand case studies that are worked on by small groups. In the first 18 months the course has been delivered to more than 800 people, and evaluations show it has been extremely successful. The course designers aim to train 500 more over the next year. This intensive programme gives the sector the best chance of changing the road safety conversation, and developing a shared understanding of how to reduce deaths and serious injuries, in the shortest possible time. The paper outlines the course design, results and lessons learned, with particular reference to how the course could be replicated elsewhere.

KiwiRail Holdings Limited (KiwiRail) were heavily engaged in the development of the report. Waka Kotahi, NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) and the New Zealand Treasury were also consulted in the early stages of model development. Modelling takes account of rail freight across New Zealand and passenger rail in Auckland and Wellington. Inter-island ferries and long-distance passenger rail within the KiwiRail network are out of scope. This study includes direct, indirect and externality benefits, consistent with the Waka Kotahi Monetised Benefits and Cost Manual. The majority of benefits are calculated in net terms, with air pollution, fuel use, greenhouse gas emissions, maintenance and safety values reflecting the difference between road and rail impacts. Time savings are the one exception, with impacts on the road network being calculated in gross terms. Such an approach is required to maintain consistency with previous (2016) modelling.

  • Seismic Ratings for Degrading Structural Systems
    271 Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, Vol. 50, No. 2, June 2017 TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE PERFORMANCE AND MANAGEMENT IN THE SOUTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND, DURING THE FIRST 100 DAYS FOLLOWING THE 2016 MW 7.8 “KAIKŌURA” EARTHQUAKE Alistair J. Davies1, Vinod Sadashiva2, Mohammad Aghababaei3, Danielle Barnhill4, Seosamh B. Costello3, Briony Fanslow4, Daniel Headifen5, Matthew Hughes4, Rudolph Kotze5, Janelle Mackie6, Prakash Ranjitkar3, James Thompson6, Daniel R. Troitino5, Thomas Wilson4, Stuart Woods7 and Liam M. Wotherspoon3 (Submitted March 2017; Reviewed May 2017; Accepted May 2017) ABSTRACT At 00:02 on 14th November 2016, a Mw 7.8 earthquake occurred in and offshore of the northeast of the South Island of New Zealand. Fault rupture, ground shaking, liquefaction, and co-seismic landslides caused severe damage to distributed infrastructure, and particularly transportation networks; large segments of the country’s main highway, State Highway 1 (SH1), and the Main North Line (MNL) railway line, were damaged between Picton and Christchurch. The damage caused direct local impacts, including isolation of communities, and wider regional impacts, including disruption of supply chains. Adaptive measures have ensured immediate continued regional transport of goods and people. Air and sea transport increased quickly, both for emergency response and to ensure routine transport of goods. Road diversions have also allowed critical connections to remain operable. This effective response to regional transport challenges allowed Civil Defence Emergency Management to quickly prioritise access to isolated settlements, all of which had road access 23 days after the earthquake. However, 100 days after the earthquake, critical segments of SH1 and the MNL remain closed and their ongoing repairs are a serious national strategic, as well as local, concern.

  • Geospatial Assessment of the Historic Seismic Performance of the New Zealand Bridge Stock
    Geospatial Assessment of the Historic Seismic Performance of the New Zealand Bridge Stock Shong Wai Lew i), Pavan Chigullapally ii), Liam Wotherspooniii), Moustafa Al-Aniiv) i) PhD Student, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, New Zealand. ii) PhD Student, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, New Zealand. iii) Senior Lecturer, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, New Zealand. iv) Team Leader, Bridges & Civil Structures, Opus International Consultants Ltd, New Zealand. ABSTRACT This paper presents the geospatial assessment of historic seismic bridge performance of the New Zealand bridge stock from the 1968 Inangahua earthquake through to the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. Spatial ground motion details based on recorded and observed ground motion intensities were used to estimate the peak ground accelerations (PGA) at each bridge location using kriging approaches. The quality of these estimates will vary, based on the uncertainty from the earlier events, and the influence of subsurface conditions on response. PGA, as a measure of the seismic demand at each bridge were then compared against estimate of bridge capacity defined through the New Zealand Transport Agency seismic screening process. A total of 694 bridges were estimated to have experienced an event PGA above 0.05g. They are mostly distributed around the east to the southern part of the North Island and the northern part of the South Island, which aligns with the regions with the highest seismic hazard across the country. Of the bridges that experienced an event PGA of more than 0.05g, 284 bridges with PGA information from seismic screening was available for comparison with their event PGA.

  • WL 2020 Road-Rail Interface
    Watchlist Safety for pedestrians and vehicles using level crossings What is the problem? What is the solution? Safety for pedestrians and vehicles The regulator, business operators, using railway level crossings is being and road control authorities need to compromised because of ambiguities in work closely to ensure the interface the responsibilities between the road between rail and surrounding and rail authorities; and because the infrastructure provides the implications for the road-rail interface appropriate level of protection for are sometimes not recognised when pedestrians, road vehicles, trains, and changes are made to vehicle those on board. technology or rail infrastructure. Even when accidents cause limited train damage or minor injuries, such events can be traumatic for all involved. Commission investigations have highlighted safety improvements that could have been, or should be, made for road vehicles or pedestrians using level crossings. Recent inquiries have found ambiguities in who is responsible for the safety of pedestrians crossing rail lines, a particular concern in metropolitan areas with growing patronage, and growing frequency of trains. Other inquiries have shown that changes to rules and standards for road vehicles such as permissible lengths and clearances are incompatible with the conditions at some level crossings such as sight lines and road camber. The potential remains for serious accidents to continue to occur as a result of these problems identified through our inquiries. Background When pedestrians or vehicles use level crossings, the potential exists for serious accidents to occur. Safety measures depend on infrastructure, technology, systems, and users working together. A change in one of these factors must take account of its effect on the others if safety is not to be compromised.

  • A Critical Review of Policies on Pedestrian Safety and a Case Study of New Zealand
    sustainability Article A Critical Review of Policies on Pedestrian Safety and a Case Study of New Zealand Ajjima Soathong , Douglas Wilson, Prakash Ranjitkar * and Subeh Chowdhury Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142, New Zealand; [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (D.W.); [email protected] (S.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 August 2019; Accepted: 18 September 2019; Published: 25 September 2019 Abstract: Vulnerable road users contribute to nearly half of road deaths globally. In New Zealand, this group accounts for 26% of road deaths, which includes 8% of pedestrian crashes. This paper provides a critical review of the road safety policies from the pedestrian’s viewpoint for some of the best performing countries and discusses their effectiveness for the future. A case study is conducted for New Zealand to identify factors contributing to the pedestrian crashes and investigate the impact of the road safety policies on pedestrian crash trends. The policies are predominantly well informed by evidence-based approaches contributing to an overall reduction in the number of road crashes. However, little attention has been paid on pedestrian behaviour related to crashes. Finally, the paper makes recommendations for improving pedestrian safety to enable better safety outcomes that are closer to vision zero. Keywords: traffic safety; vulnerable road users; pedestrian safety; policies; Vision Zero; Safe System 1. Introduction With economic growth and increased urbanisation, many countries are experiencing transport-related problems as inherited transport infrastructure is unable to cope with increasing travel demand.

  • Valuation of the New Zealand Census 2 a Case Study by SDSN Trends
    New Zealand has conducted its census since 1851, providing a vital source of data Valuation of the about the size and demographics of the country’s population. In 2014, a valuation New Zealand of the census was performed. Even though the scope was limited to a select Census number of quantifiable applications, the study found that over the next 25 years, A Case Study by SDSN TReNDS the census would return to the national economy NZ$5 for every NZ$1 invested. Among its benefits, the census is critical to delivering on different areas of sustainable development. The Ministry of Health uses census data to appropriately allocate local health funds, and an understanding of population growth and demographics informs infrastructure planning. The census is also critical to the ambition to “leave no one behind,” particularly in the context of the nation’s indigenous Māori community, as census data supports developmental policies, electoral representation, and self-determining agendas. As the census undergoes modification in New Zealand, ensuring the continued quality of these benefits will be vital. Valuation of the New Zealand Census 2 A Case Study by SDSN TReNDS Introduction to The New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings is conducted by the country’s statistics agency, Statistics New Zealand (known the New Zealand as Stats NZ). It provides an official count of people, along with Census demographic and socioeconomic information at the community level (Stats NZ – Tatauranga Aotearoa 2018a). The census was initially conducted every three years beginning in 1851; in 1881, the frequency was changed to every five years (Stats NZ – Tatauranga Aotearoa, n.d.).
