Plenary sessions

The 24th ARRB Conference will showcase three plenary sessions. See below for more information.

Towards a sustainable road system

Chair: Mr Peter Mitchem, VicRoads
Professor Eiichi Taniguchi, Kyoto University
Dr Luke Reedman, CSIRO
Mr Ross Guppy, Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland

Transport is a long term endeavour. It is also vital to the social and economic well being of society and therefore needs to be sustainable. However, ‘sustainability’ tends to be a catch-all phrase, with thought seldom given to what constitutes sustainability. This session will examine the meaning of sustainability in the roads and transport context, and the current positives and negatives in each of the following dimensions:

Sustainable network capacity
Fuel/ power/ emissions futures
Resource consumption and infrastructure provision
Human resources / capability

Maximising network productivity and the case for road pricing

Chair: Mr Neil Doyle, ARRB Director
Mr Stephen Perkins, OECD/ITF
Mr Neil Aplin, Council of Australian Governments Road Reform Plan
Ms Marj Morrissey, Department of Planning and Infrastructure, Northern Territory

There are many forms of road pricing. Two key applications are managing congestion in urban areas, and access for heavy road freight vehicles (to account for associated road wear costs). As the usage requirement of our road network grows, differing approaches to current network management practices require consideration in order to facilitate ongoing optimal transport outcomes. An understanding of the at times competing, cross disciplinary issues are required in order to progress the discussion, and shape improvements that will facilitate national benefit. Many international jurisdictions have planned or implemented various initiatives aimed at making efficient use of the existing road network (e.g. by improving traffic management practice including new technology such as intelligent transport systems ITS), and by new investment (e.g. adding new stock in the form of higher capacity roads/lanes).

In Australia, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) and the Productivity Commission have established the Road Reform Plan feasibility study into road pricing including the concept of mass-distance location charging. This aims to address broad issues associated with the road freight task. Internationally, in a number of road jurisdictions, the focus is on urban congestion and road use charges by time of day and location.

This session will focus on the examination of the factors that influence current and emerging network demand and possible responses, particularly road pricing.

Integrating safety outcomes

Chair: Mr Robert Klein, Global Road Safety Partnership
Mr Iain Cameron, Office of Road Safety, Western Australia
Ms Kathy Martin, Main Roads Western Australia
Mr Russell Henk, Texas Transportation Institute
Mr Michael de Roos, Roads and Traffic Authority NSW

The Safe System approach has been adopted across Australia. This approach has implications for road safety practitioners, as well as all others involved in managing roads. This session will explore an integrated approach to planning and managing road assets whilst delivering improved road safety outcomes.

Various strategies exist and, whilst some are embedded in practice, others are not. Successful strategies build on basic road management standards with ‘duty of care’ by the asset manager of prime importance, covering hazard identification and prompt response. The adoption of proactive risk management, as embodied in the increasingly popular safe roads system concept, is also key and getting the balance between focused blackspot programs, and area wide programs. Improved knowledge also means we can value the cost of crashes better, and justify treatment programs on an economic basis, often adding considerable value to a purely asset protection driven program.

Workshops

The conference will feature the following workshops:

Designing an Australian low carbon transport forum (ALCTF)

It is intended that the overall aim of an ALCTF is to strengthen and facilitate information and knowledge sharing between key organisations on greenhouse gas reduction strategies and options in transport operations, technology and infrastructure in Australia.
The Workshop will provide an opportunity to raise awareness for the ALCTF, receive support, and assist in the future planning of the Forum in order to meet its aims.
It will provide background into the current status of the Forum, including discussions with the Australian Government, Australian Conservation Foundation, Australian Logistics Council, and recent support from Roads Australia (facilitator).
It is intended that the workshop will also provide an opportunity to scope and design the ALCTF by way of providing an outline of achievable objectives for discussion
As part of the workshop, a series of questions will also be presented to the participants seeking an informed view of how industry and stakeholders could be involved in the ALCTF, and preferred mechanism and level of involvement.

Regulatory telematics

This workshop will provide an informative and thought provoking discussion on Regulatory Telematics. The workshop will discuss the emergence of telematics use by Governments. Information will be presented on the Electronic Work Diary, On-Board Mass Monitoring, the Intelligent Access Program, the Co-operative ITS (5.9GHz) Initiative, mass-distance-location charging and on overall national telematics strategy for heavy vehicles.

Outcome-based maintenance

Significant progress has been made in outcome oriented approaches to road maintenance. Drivers have included the need to achieve value for money, and to ensure greater responsibility in the management of road assets from a financial and operational perspective. Separation of roles, between owner-manager-supplier, has been key and transparent performance evaluation is now commonplace. The extent to which responsibilities have changed, and the contract models used has varied considerably. Examples range from long term outcome based contracts to more traditional forms where services are supplied at least through an arms length contract arrangement. A trend towards more owner/client involvement through partnership arrangements is now emerging in Australia. In developing countries performance based contracts are fewer yet sound lessons exist, but challenges remain. This workshop aims to uncover the success factors under different circumstances and promote pragmatic solutions building on a decade or more of experience in the field.

Project appraisal

This workshop will discuss key issues regarding some important facts (and myths) in methodology (theory and application) and practice (models and data) employed in the area of evaluation of road infrastructure investment. The workshop will address the following key areas, which may be of those defining the current state of project/program evaluation and future direction:
    - Issues of method and practice: project evaluation vs. project prioritisation.
    - Valuing the social costs of crashes: recent developments in Australasia.
    - Valuing travel time for travel (passengers and freight): travel reliability and other developments.
    - Risk and uncertainty in project evaluation: key cost and benefit variables.
    - Valuing the social cost of transport: environmental and other externalities

Skid resistance: Scoping the future

This workshop will provide a summary review of current status of skid resistance management in Australia and NZ, before focusing on exploring future directions for research and operational practice.
An update will be provided on the specific challenges previously identified at the the 1st International Friction Conference (held in NZ in 2005) and the 2nd International Friction Conference (held in the UK in 2008). The objectives of the upcoming 3rd conference (to be held in Queensland in May 2011) will also be introduced and verified against practitioners needs.
Current and medium to long term issues will also be suggested, identified and explored in an open forum, including:
    - Given the challenges faced, what will it take for us to be winners?
    - How do we best incorporate the management of skid resistance into the Safe System approach?
    - How will the evelotion of vehicle safety systems help or hinder us?
    - Will we be measuring skid resistance in 10 years time?, 20 years time?, 50 years time? and if so,
       how?

The road safety decade of action: How can Australia respond?

Worldwide an estimated 1.3 million people die on our roads, and a further 50 million are injured or disabled every year. 2011 will mark the start of the Decade of Action for Road Safety. This activity was instigated by a UN resolution, and was cosponsored by more than 90 countries, including Australia. The goal of this global initiative is to halt or reverse the increasing trend in road traffic deaths and injuries around the world.
A key aim of this workshop is to provide background information on the Decade of Action. In addition, Australia has previously played a significant role in addressing road safety at the global level, and particularly in the Asia Pacific region where many of these deaths and injuries occur. A further aim of the workshop is to discuss how those based in Australia can usefully contribute to this new initiative.

Foamed Bitumen Stabilisation

Over 90% of the Australian sealed road network consists of sprayed seal granular pavements. Increasing traffic loadings are placing increasing pressure on these pavements, with some non-standard materials no longer being fit-for-purpose. In many rural areas, the use of high quality crushed rock is not a cost-effective treatment to improve the structure of these pavements. Consequently there is increasing use of treatments that enhance the existing non-standard materials by the addition of bituminous binders to allow recycling of our scarce resources.
This workshop will discuss varying procedures for the design and construction of foamed bitumen pavements used in Australia and New Zealand to identify areas of research needed to reach consensus.

Moving towards road freight efficiency

Australian road freight operators are always on the move and are driving Australia towards improved efficiency and large productivity gains. The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator provides an opportunity for national consistency. This workshop will explore the needs of industry and steps required to improve freight efficiency nationwide.

Technical Tours

ARRB and VicRoads are pleased to offer two technical tours for the 24th ARRB Conference. The tours will take place on Tuesday 12 October 2010, will commence from the Conference venue, and include lunch. The tours are planned to commence at 10 am (to be confirmed). These tours are at an additional nominal cost to delegates. Places for the tours are limited. If you wish to participate, please ensure you indicate which tour you wish to attend when registering.

Red Technical Tour - M1 Freeway Management System (Network operations and safety)

Tuesday 12 October 2010

The $1.39 billion M1 Upgrade includes the introduction of an intelligent Freeway Management System along the Monash-CityLink-West Gate (M1) corridor. This system will capitalise on the addition of new lanes, by managing the flow and entry of vehicles on the freeway. The upgrade also includes strengthening works on the West Gate Bridge, which will ensure this critical part of Melbourne's road network continues to provide a safe and reliable service well into the future.

The technical tour will focus on the evolution of the Motorway Management System from a concept through to implementation, including exposure to the simulation applications that have been developed.

An opportunity will also be available to see the Motorway Management System in action at the M1 project office.

The tour will feature a visit to ARRB’s research facilities in Vermont South offices.

Blue Technical Tour - Eastlink and Accelerated Loading Facility (Asset management and pavement research)

Tuesday 12 October 2010

This technical tour will showcase aspects of the construction and operation of the Eastlink tollway that take into consideration key asset management activities and pavement design issues.

The $2.5 billion Eastlink tollway which opened to traffic in mid-2008 is a fully-electronic tollway, comprising about 39 km of freeway-standard road connecting Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs. An opportunity will also be available to visit the Eastlink Operations Centre.

The tour will also include a visit to the ARRB full scale pavement testing research laboratory, which is home to the Accelerated Loading Facility (ALF). The ALF is used to simulate normal trafficking over the life of a pavement in a matter of months. This allows pavements to be tested and evaluated in a very short time compared with on-road test sites. The ALF simulates heavy vehicle rolling wheel loading through a loaded single, tandem or tri-axle configuration.

Tour participants will have the opportunity to see the ALF in operation and to gain an appreciation of the pavements currently being tested.

The tour will also feature a visit to ARRB’s research facilities in Vermont South.

Social Functions

Conference Dinner

The conference dinner is being held on Wednesday 13 October at the National Gallery of Victoria.

The Great Hall is famous for its high ceiling which showcases a stunning stained glass design by Leonard French which will provide the perfect backdrop for a memorable Gala Dinner. This venue is one of Melbourne's finest cultural institutions in the heart of Victoria's arts precinct. Guests will also have an opportunity for a private gallery viewing.

Interchange function

The 24th ARRB Conference Interchange (informal drinks and nibbles) will be held on Thursday 14 October at Melbourne Museum.

Located in Carlton Gardens opposite the historic Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne Museum is the largest museum in the southern hemisphere. Guests will also have the opportunity to explore the Melbourne Gallery. The Melbourne Story features more than 1200 collection objects from Museum Victoria’s collection, making it the most complete and object-rich exhibition about Melbourne ever staged.

Trade exhibition

As part of the 24th ARRB Conference, delegates will be able to attend a trade exhibition with suppliers of products and services relating to the road and transport industry. The trade exhibition will include a number of demonstrations, competitions and 'hands-on' activities to learn more about current best practice in Australia and overseas.
