This webinar shares key findings from recent research by Western Australia’s Planning and Transport Research Centre (PATREC). through the iMOVE CRC.
The PATREC project, ‘Enhancing patronage prediction, strategic asset management practice and appraisal processes to account for emerging trends and uncertainty’, adapted existing tools, guidelines and frameworks to take account of changing trends and technologies, potentially helping transportation decision-makers manage risks.
PATREC is a collaborative group comprising leading experts in the fields of transportation and infrastructure planning, and researchers from The University of Western Australia (UWA).
Managing the risks of transportation planning through uncertain times
The uncertainties of emerging technologies and shifting trends disrupt conventional decision-making regarding transportation, impacting short- and long-term planning. Transport planners, departments and agencies are thus keen to find better ways to manage the increased investment risk.
In a recently completed research project, PATREC adapted key existing planning tools, guidelines and frameworks – including patronage forecasting tools, guidelines for road asset management, and the transport infrastructure project assessment and prioritisation frameworks – to take into account changing trends and technologies.
This hour-long webinar, hosted by the iMOVE CRC, will disseminate key findings from the project.
