Will the real smart bollards please stand up?
In early 2017 Sunshine Coast Council installed ‘smart bollards’ to manage traffic during street closures as a part of a streetscaping upgrade project. The aim of the installation of the automatic bollards is to reduce the requirement for external traffic management companies to be present for recurring street closures for markets and other events. The project sparked a need for guidance on traffic management measures pertaining to the bollard sensor system, the signage requirements (location, height, wording, sequencing and duration of display), sequencing of bollard motion and management of vehicle entry / exit to the enclosed area (including for emergency vehicles). This paper will present on the changing environment and new considerations in both temporary and permanent traffic management due to evolutions in smart technologies. The project is a pilot for further research into the impact of evolving in-vehicle technology and subsequent interaction with road infrastructure.
