The Development of a Mesoscopic Melbourne Model

The development of infrastructure delivery is a well-trodden path from concept to business case to detailed design and opening. Processes exist at both state and national levels to outline justification for value of an investment. Many of these concept solutions are larger scale and require development from government bodies, while design elements sit with the local delivery teams. These two arms produce a dichotomy of challenges – the delivery for the city and state against the requirements for a well-defined project scope. The end result can produce for a project with focus on the new infrastructure but understated holistic network view to plan and deliver complementing projects for access and unloading to the new investment. VicRoads as part of Department of Transport required a model to explore wide range of questions of short term to midterm delivery needs of this includes how and to what extent the proposed projects influence traffic movements and journey patterns in terms of various tier of impact. The organization also needs traffic management solutions that requires to be implemented that can strategize to mitigate the impact of disruption as an indispensable part of construction of new projects. This ensures that projects can be delivered. The Domino model was developed as an innovative new approach to estimate and predict the response of network to various projects ranging from change in signal plans to construction of new infrastructures such as highways or bridges. This instrument assists VicRoads in immediate delivery of network projects.
