PROBLEMS WITH PLANNING AND MODELLING ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE IN A RAPIDLY DEVELOPING SATELLITE OF A MAJOR CITY

A study into the future road infrastructure requirements of a rapidly developing satellite area of Brisbane has recently been completed. The study involved both a reasoned approach to the development of a recommended road network for the area, as well as a modelling approach to assist in determining priorities of development for that network. The problems involved in both these study phases are discussed and the focus is on the approach to gravity model calibration employed during the second phase. Some guidance is provided to agencies contemplating future studies of a similar nature. (TRRL)
