Resource energy projects present a number of challenges to road authorities who need to formulate a response that allows for the appropriate infrastructure upgrades to be planned,constructed and paid for.Too often the road authority is overwhelmed by individual traffic reports from the proponents without having any reference to a system or process such as a network traffic model on which to test options and cumulative impacts.Yet to set up a functional traffic model will take time,is costly and will need some in-house capability to maintain.At the other end of the scale spread sheet style options are cumbersome to use and often out of date.This paper describes a system that allows the authority to effectively manage the transport task.The latest proposed vehicle movements can be displayed on an active GIS screen and referenced against agreed operational parameters.Various report outputs are also available upon demand.Such a system would assist state and local government authorities to manage the new development generated traffic in Qld.
