Using Risk Analysis to Prioritise Road-Based Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Queensland Using Risk Analysis to Prioritise Road-Based Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Queensland Katherine Amelia Johnston BE Civil (Honours) School of Urban Design Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering Queensland University of Technology Masters by Research (BN72) 2006 Keywords Intelligent Transport Systems, evaluation, incident management, variable message signs, prioritisation, risk analysis, decision-making Abstract With perpetual strains on resources, road agencies need to develop network-level decision-making frameworks to ensure optimum resource allocation. This is especially true for incident management services and in particular variable message signs (VMS), which are relatively immature disciplines compared to traditional road engineering. The objective of incident management and VMS is to minimise the safety, efficiency, reliability and environmental impacts of incidents on the operations of the transport system. This may be achieved by informing travellers of the incidents so they can adapt their behaviour in a manner that reduces community impacts, such as lateness and the associated vehicle emissions, unreliability of travel times, as well as secondary accidents due to incidents. Generally, road authorities do carry out needs assessments, but qualitatively in many cases. Therefore, this masters research presents a framework that is systematic, quantitative and relatively easy to implement. In order to prioritise VMS infrastructure deployment, a risk management approach was taken that focuses on minimising the impacts on, and costs to the community. In the framework and case study conducted, safety, efficiency and reliability, and environmental impacts are quantified using an economic risk management approach to determine an overall risk score. This score can be used to rank road sections within the network, indicating the roads with the highest risk of incident network impacts and therefore the roads with the highest need for intervention. A cost-effectiveness based risk-reduction ranking can then be determined for each incident management treatment type, comparing the net risk with treatment to that without treatment, and dividing by the net present value of deployment. The two types of ranking, pure risk and cost-effectiveness based risk reduction, will help to minimise the network impacts on the community and optimise resource allocation. i Table of contents KEYWORDS I ABSTRACT I TABLE OF CONTENTS II LIST OF TABLES VI LIST OF FIGURES VII LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS VIII LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS VIII LIST OF NOTATIONS IX STATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP XI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS XI 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Background 1 1.2 Project scope 3 1.3 Structure of thesis 3 1.4 Further project documentation 4 2 REVIEW OF TRAFFIC OPERATIONS AND ITS 6 2.1 Objectives of traffic operations and ITS 6 2.2 Traffic efficiency 8 ii 2.3 Safety 9 2.4 Definition of ITS systems and services 10 2.5 Evolution of ITS planning and deployment 11 2.6 Benefits of ITS systems and services 12 2.7 Risks of ITS 15 2.8 Incident management 15 3 REVIEW OF ITS EVALUATION 17 3.1 Why does ITS differ from conventional road projects 18 3.2 ITS Evaluation methods 19 3.2.1 Benefit-cost analysis 19 3.2.2 Multi-criteria analysis 20 3.2.3 Cost effectiveness analysis 22 3.2.4 System analysis 22 3.2.5 Benchmarking 28 3.2.6 Risk analysis 30 3.3 Incident impacts 30 3.3.1 Safety 31 3.3.2 Economic 32 3.3.3 Environmental 32 4 REVIEW OF CURRENT PRACTICE ON EVALUATION FRAMEWORKS 34 4.1 Questionnaire development 35 4.2 Findings 36 4.2.1 Respondent characteristics 36 4.2.2 Organisational decision-making attributes 38 4.3 Conclusions and further research 40 iii 4.4 Research focus 40 5 USING RISK ANALYSIS TO EVALUATE INCIDENT MANAGEMENT DEPLOYMENT 42 5.1 Purpose of framework 42 5.2 Overview of framework 44 5.3 Theoretical basis of framework 46 5.4 Monetising ITS impacts 50 5.4.1 Safety impacts 51 5.4.2 Reliability impacts 52 5.4.3 Environmental impacts 56 5.5 Worked example 58 5.5.1 Situation 58 5.5.2 Safety impact assumptions and calculation 58 5.5.3 Reliability impact assumptions and calculation 59 5.5.4 Environmental impact assumptions and calculation 60 5.5.5 Total incident calculation 61 6 CASE STUDY 62 6.1 Introduction 62 6.2 Assumptions 63 6.3 Results and discussion 66 6.3.1 Sensitivity towards assumption of travel time cost 69 7 CONCLUSIONS AND FURTHER RESEARCH 72 7.1 Conclusions 72 7.1.1 Literature and current practice reviews 72 7.1.2 Methodology 73 7.1.3 Case study 73 iv 7.2 Further research 73 7.3 Recommendations 75 APPENDIX A.

  • Priority Infrastructure Plan & Infrastructure Charges Schedule
    PART 8 INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISIONS 1-3 PRIORITY INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN & INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES SCHEDULE PART 8 INFRASTRUCTURE DIVISION 1 PRIORITY INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN (PIP) 1.0 INTRODUCTION This is the Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) for Gold Coast City Council prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA) and IPA Infrastructure Guidelines 1/04 and 2/04. The PIP will be subject to reviews in accordance with the requirements of IPA and will also be reviewed after the adoption of the Local Growth Management Strategy, which is required under the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2005-2026 (SEQRP). 1.1. Purpose The purpose of the PIP is to define the scale, type, timing and location of growth in the Gold Coast in order to plan future trunk infrastructure and to determine the charges required to fund it in a timely fashion. IPA requires integration of land use and infrastructure planning to allow infrastructure to be supplied in a coordinated, efficient and orderly manner. This enables sustainable development and encourages urban growth in areas where adequate infrastructure exists or can be provided efficiently. 1.2. PIP Terms, Acronyms and Definitions Definitions are provided to assist the reader’s understanding of the PIP. Where appropriate, reference should be made to the relevant legislation for statutory definitions. Term Acronym Definition Additional Trunk (a) the costs of supplying infrastructure to development that is: Infrastructure Costs (i) inconsistent with the assumptions about the type, scale, location or timing of future development stated in the PIP, or , (ii) is located wholly or partially outside the PIA, and (b) would impose additional trunk infrastructure costs on the infrastructure provider taking into account: (i) infrastructure charges or regulated infrastructure charges levied on the development, and (ii) trunk infrastructure supplied or to be supplied by the applicant in respect of the development.

Region – The region that corresponds to the Main Roads district maps. Latitude – The latitude map coordinate for the structure. It can be used in combination with the longitude to locate the structure using GPS or mapping tools. The structure will be in the correct vicinity but may not be exactly where the latitude and longitude display it depending on the accuracy of the map or mapping tool used.

  • Gold Coast Transport Strategy 2031
    GOLD COAST CITY TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2031 MID-LIFE REVIEW SUMMARY MAY 2019 STRATEGY Mayor’s Foreword Just as it was in 2013 when I released the Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031, improving our transport system remains one of my top priorities. That’s why we have undertaken a mid-life review of the strategy to ensure we are on track to deliver our transport vision for the city and protect our Gold Coast lifestyle. This mid-life review, with input from across our organisation as well as key industry and government stakeholders, has shown that we are on track with delivering our 2031 transport commitments and are adapting well to changes in the transport landscape by considering emerging technologies. We have achieved much in the last five years, and are well prepared to deliver even more in the next five years. The Transport Strategy priorities remain highly relevant and an enhanced focus on congestion management is necessary to consolidate and prioritise actions that address both the cause and effects of congestion. We all know we can’t build our way out of congestion and building more roads in isolation is not the solution. Our integrated approach delivers supporting measures to reduce the growth in traffic and provide alternative, sustainable modes of transport that will deliver our transport vision. Given there are many causes of congestion, there needs to be a mix of solutions to combat it. That is why the City’s Transport Strategy has an integrated plan in place to manage congestion and protect our unique lifestyle. This includes critical road projects, ‘pinch points’ and active transport projects for maximum benefit to the city.
