Task Overview

One limitation of public transport systems is that they usually fail to provide door-to-door services.

In this sense, users are left to find a mode of transport to undertake the first and last leg of their journeys.

As a transport planning consultant, you have been requested to investigate and evaluate the existing transport options that can be used to access the train station that will receive the SRL and to travel locally in your suburb. Based on your findings and knowledge about smart transportation solutions, you are requested to propose strategic and operational projects that can improve the station’s access from different parts of the suburb as well as transport options for local travel. You are also requested to define adequate performance evaluation metrics, identify data needs, and create a data collection plan for your proposed projects.

The investigations should clearly describe the methodology, assumptions, and data sources used.

The proposals should be justified based on references (including but not limited to the subject’s material and readings).

You report should follow the format described in “Report Format”.

Report Format

The cover page of the report should contain your name, student number, suburb name, and word count (excluding the reference list).

The word limit is 2400 words (the reference list does not count toward the limit).

The report should have 5 sections with the following numbered headings and sub-headings:

1. Existing Transport Options

1.1. Public Bus Level of Service

1.2. Station Access

2. Transport Demand Analysis
3. Proposed Changes

3.1. Project 1 – Strategic: [relevant name]

3.1.1. Description and Justification

3.1.2. Implementation and Expected Demand Characteristics

3.1.3. Performance Index

3.1.4. Data Collection Plan

1. a) Project Development
2. b) Operation
3. c) Monitoring

3.2. Project 2 – Operational: [relevant name]

3.2.1. Description and Justification

3.2.2. IoT Architecture Diagram

3.2.3. Performance Index

3.2.4. Data Collection Plan

1. a) Project Development
2. b) Operation
3. c) Monitoring
4. Expected Impacts and Conclusions
5. References

Reports that do not adhere to the requested format and that exceed the word limit will be penalised.

Requirements and Indicative Content

This is a project-based assignment and you will decide on the content of each report section based on the objectives described in the task overview. Minimum requirements and suggested content are indicated below:

1. Transport options

• Introduce the current transport options available in your study area.

1.1.

Public bus level of service analysis

• Spatial coverage: show a map of the bus network in your study area (PTV shapefiles are provided on Canvas) and analyse the spatial coverage of the services and connectivity with the station.

• Temporal coverage: use service timetables to identify average service frequencies,expected waiting times, and total travel times (waiting + in-vehicle + walk) for four different points of the study area during morning-peak, inter-peak, and night periods.

A suggestion on how to select these four points is available in Appendix A. Your analysis must clearly identify where the points are and how you selected them, and what services, time periods and route directions were used to calculate the frequencies and times and to draw conclusions.

1.2.

Station access analysis

• Analyse the station access by different modes using isochrones and your findings in 1.1. Also, identify specific infrastructure elements that may help or hinder access. You can use the isochrones developed in A1 if you find appropriate.

2. Demand analysis

• It is required that you use VISTA data (provided on Canvas) for the demand analysis.

Additional data sources, such as data from the ABS or other sources, can also be used but are optional. VISTA data is not available at the SA2 level, so you will need to consider the LGA where your suburb is located, as described in the first page of this brief. Assume that the distributions/proportions observed for the LGAs directly reflect the distributions/proportions observed in your area.

• Use Pivot Tables to analyse travel characteristics within the LGA (local trips) and between the four LGAs that are part of the SRL East line. Concisely present the distributions (%) of mode choice and trip purposes.

• Analysing other travel characteristics (such as local trip distance distribution) can also provide relevant information to decide on your project proposals. However, these are not a minimum requirement and should be included only if the relevance is explicitly identified.

3. Proposed changes

• Briefly introduce the projects that you are proposing and clearly identify the main objective of each project. While the general goal of both projects is to improve transport options to access the station and travel locally, each project should also have a specific objective aligned with the decision-making perspective. For example, the main objective of Project 1 could be to improve vertical equity from an income and social class perspective or to improve public health by reducing emissions or increasing physical activity. Similarly, Project 2 could have the objective of improving localised pedestrian safety or perceived public transport service reliability.

3.1.

Project 1 – Strategic

• This project should be a strategic level intervention involving the implementation of an emerging/shared mobility service and/or a TDM strategy.

• Describe the project and justify the project choice based on your findings from sections 1 and 2 as well as references (at least two references).

• Define the spatial and temporal coverage of the project and relate it to your demand expectations. Use a map if appropriate.

• Create a performance index for the project providing the reasoning when necessary.

“Performance Evaluation is the process of monitoring and analysing how well policies,programs and projects perform regarding their intended goals and objectives.

Performance indicators are specific measurable outcomes used to evaluate progress toward established goals and objectives. A performance index is a set of performance indicators in a framework designed to facilitate analysis.” (TDM Encyclopedia, 2019).

• Based on the previous sections, identify data needs for planning during the project phase as well as for operation and monitoring in the post-implementation phase.

Identify specific variables that need to be measured and select data collection methods aligned with each objective. You can use a table or diagram to help present and organised the information concisely. Justify your choices for traditional or emerging (using new technologies) data collection methods.

3.2.

Project 2 – Operational

• This project should be an operational level intervention either on one component of the existing transport system described in section 1 or as part of Project 1. It should involve the use of intelligent and cooperative technologies (sensing and information and communication technologies) to improve the level of service experienced by users.

• Describe the project and justify the technology choice based on your findings from sections 1 and 2 as well as references (at least two references).

• Define the relevant coverage of the project and develop an IoT architecture diagram for the technology implementation containing the relevant elements and relationships.

• Develop the performance index and data collection plan as described under Project 1.

4. Expected Impacts and Conclusion

• Reflect on expected project impacts considering potential (holistic) costs and benefits.

Provide a final recommendation.

5. References

• Provide a reference list. Harvard Style is recommended.
