About this event

Join the AITPM Transport Modelling Network (TMN) and Engineers Australia/Transport Australia Society (EA/TAS) for this webinar.

Engineers Australia/Transport Australia Society released an Urban Transport Systems discussion paper in December 2021 which raised a number of important issues related to Strategic Transport Modelling.  Engineers Australia through the Transport Australia Society (EA/TAS) is interested in engaging with transport modellers .

Several issues raised in their Urban Transport Systems discussion paper include:

• The need for a change in the overall planning methodology in which models are used (‘Vision and Validate’ rather than ‘Predict and Provide’);
• The need for more strategic planning studies and associated modelling - we seem to do more project level planning and modelling but less strategic/network level planning and modelling now than we did 2 decades ago;
• The need for more “scenario planning” (i.e. not just one network scenario and one land use scenario) We need more careful design of the scenarios to be modelled; and
• If a consensus can be reached on these issues, as EA/TAS would like to go to government stakeholders with a statement that the industry all support a change in transport planning methodology along these lines.

This event will feature a brief 10-15min introduction to the Urban Transport Systems discussion paper by Emmerson Richardson and Scott Elaurant followed by a roundtable discussion chaired by Steven Piotrowski.

We have three great speakers lined up:

• Emmerson Richardson | RAC Councillor I Transport Australia Society and Engineers Australia
• Scott Elaurant | Six Cats Consulting
• Steven Piotrowski | SMEC

This webinar will be a forum where some of these important issues will be discussed.
