Sydney | 28-30 October 2019
Overcome traffic management issues caused by bottlenecks, overcrowding, poor signal timing, traffic incidents, construction zones, and inclement weather with solutions to combat urban congestion and improve transport mobility at the Busting Urban Congestionconference in Sydney this October.
Urban densification and population growth are placing strain on existing road infrastructure with 75% of Australia’s current population growth taking place in urban settings. Growing freight volumes and additional commuters navigating Australia’s road and transport networks are challenging traffic reliability and efficiency and increasing travel times, bottlenecks and vehicle operating costs. Traffic congestion in Australia currently costs the economy more than $16 billion per year.
Australia’s recently created Urban Congestion Fund aims to alleviate the cost of congestion with $4 billion being invested by the federal government over the next 10 years. The Busting Urban Congestion conference complements this initiative by identifying opportunities for increased efficiencies in traffic management and integration of intelligent transport systems. Reduce urban congestion with solutions for mobility as a service, mapping future travel demand and cost-benefit analysis of infrastructure options.
