Sunshine Coast Council
Project Summary:
Council commissioned Connexus to undertake the traffic assessment of Sippy Downs and its surrounding area using their 24 hours, seven peak period Simulation-Based Assignment Model (SBA).
The primary objective of this commission was initially to complete the following two phases:
- Phase 1: 2016 24-hour SBA Sippy Downs Area model Audit
- Phase 2: 2016 24-hour SBA Sippy Downs Area Calibration using Dynamic Origin-Destination Matrix Estimation
Connexus successfully delivered the first two phases and were awarded the following successive phases:
- Phase 3 – 2041 Future Build and signal optimisation in SBA
- Phase 4 – Transport Initiative Analysis
Connexus successfully completed Phase 3 and is currently producing an interactive storyboard to demonstrate the impacts of each of the 2041 projects individually and collectively. This will allow Council to understand the implications of each scheme within the region. Connexus has created all the necessary placeholders in the model to assist Council in assessing the interim year models with limited time and effort.
