Integrated transport planning at all levels: the Redcliffe Seaside Village

Transportation planning instruments involving land-use and infrastructure assessments are required to find a balance between the forces of demand and the constraints of supply. When developing transportation models the focus of numerous platforms allows for this balance to be redirected. Many policy decisions derived from strategic scale models are assessed with the balance in favour of the demand generated and distributed. Detailed town centre transport models, including many infrastructure projects, are often driven by supply limitations within the network but reduce the impacts of a land-use driver. To combat such deficits within the transport planning of town centres, PTV has developed an integrated framework incorporating the demand and the supply oriented platforms. This solution reflects greater complexity of capacity constraints within the networks (including intersection operations and turn specifications) before providing for simulation of the detailed operational evaluations. This approach allows for complex scenario assessments in VISUM to be directly matched within the VISSIM micro-simulation landscape. At Redcliffe Seaside Village, this approach allowed for town centre planning within the context of the Brisbane Strategic Transport Model. This mesoscopic transport model reflected network and trip complexity for contemporary and forecast conditions producing an integrated transportation plan of the town centre.
