  • University of Southern Queensland Elevated
    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Engineering and Surveying Elevated Highways – A Solution to Brisbane’s Traffic Congestion? A Dissertation submitted by Bruce Robert Delahunty in fulfillment of the requirements of Courses ENG4111 and ENG4112 Research Project Towards the degree of Bachelor Degree of Engineering (Civil) Submitted: October, 2011 Abstract The title “Elevated Highways – A Solution to Brisbane’s Traffic Congestion?” initially outlines the probable contents of the upcoming dissertation. Many cities around the world are experiencing worsening traffic chaos especially in peak hour travelling times. The construction of road tunnels, elevated highways, freeways and interchanges, bus ways, transit lanes, tollways and automated traffic systems are some of the methods that planners, engineers and governments have utilized to try to increase the capacity of the road infrastructure network to alleviate the congestion in peak hour traffic. Thus, the much debated topic of what infrastructure or road systems to construct in order to overcome the dreaded “peak hour rush” for any city reaching the capacity of their current road and transport network, is a never ending question and topic for today’s transport engineers, planners, governments, environmentalists and public to agree upon. I believe the answer lies within the creativity of the design engineers to conjure up new designs of infrastructure, with new materials, creativity and form that are environmentally acceptable and at a viable cost. Today’s transport planners and governments need to also implement acceptable systems of control to allow the traffic to flow as well as increase the capacity and use of public transportation systems. My aim for the upcoming thesis was to highlight another type of road infrastructure solution that is affordable and could be designed to alleviate the traffic congestion that is now evident on our roads in Brisbane, primarily in the peak travel times.
