Improved guidance on interrupted traffic flow theory

The project seeks to provide operational level guidance and case studies on interrupted traffic flow theory in the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management. It aims to assist practitioners to develop effective options in relation to congestion management and competing demand issues and develop the technical capability of transport managers.

It involves:

• a critical review of the guidance within Austroads Guide to Traffic Management (Part 2: Traffic Flow Theory and Part 3: Traffic Studies and Analysis) to identify opportunities for improvement;
• a literature review of relevant local and international research and guidelines to understand if external source material should be considered for inclusion in AGTM ; and
• development of case studies for inclusion into AGTM Part 3

Proposed outputs: Guide or update to Guide, Research report, Webinar / Case studies
