Buses are a crucial part of our transport ecosystem. As budgets get tighter and people want more flexible travel options and earlier access to public transport, buses can help provide quicker and more cost effective implementation. Clarity on routes, more permanent and easily identifiable infrastructure and reliability will be key to patronage. What role do you feel buses should play our transport ecosystem? #aurecon #buses #futuretransport #publictransport

Australia is pioneering an innovative approach to road safety by testing out glow-in-the-dark roads. This cutting-edge technology involves the application of a special photoluminescent paint that absorbs sunlight during the day and emits a soft, glowing light at night. The aim is to enhance visibility for drivers, making nighttime driving safer and reducing the need for artificial street lighting in certain areas. The glow-in-the-dark roads are part of a broader initiative to explore sustainable and energy-efficient solutions for infrastructure. If successful, this technology could revolutionize road safety by providing clear, illuminated pathways, especially in rural or poorly lit areas. The trial is currently underway in select locations, with positive feedback from early tests. This initiative positions Australia as a leader in adopting innovative solutions to improve road safety and environmental sustainability. #RoadSafety #GlowInTheDark #Australia #Innovation #SustainableInfrastructure

As Road Safety Week unfolds, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our Vivacity Smart Lighting evolution in Melbourne. Our journey began with a pivotal moment: the installation of eight sets of flashing LED Safety Tactiles at the bustling corner of Swanston Street and Little Collins Street. This intersection, known for its heavy foot traffic, was the starting point for our mission to enhance pedestrian safety in the CBD. Following this initial success, we've expanded our reach, installing Vivacity LED Safety Tactiles at various city intersections and public transport facilities. Considering the statistics, with 174 pedestrian deaths across Australia in the last 12 months, our work at Vivacity Lighting isn't just about installations; it's about making a tangible difference in people's lives. As we continue our journey, we're reminded of the importance of our mission and inspired by the positive impact we're making in creating safer urban environments.

Register for the next free webinar in our SYSTRA X Landor LINKS Ltd ‘Developing integrated public transport systems to compete with the car’ series on 23rd October! 🚗 The series, which highlights the need for public transport systems to be planned and delivered as connected and integrated networks, explores just how we can integrate a series of modal layers to provide a seamless, convenient and attractive public transport system for all. Transport is a key enabler of economic growth and trade, providing the networks and services on which economies depend. Good public transport systems that link routes across local authority and regional boundaries provide equal access to employment and services (such as health and education), promoting economic activity, and providing direct benefits to people, businesses, the environment and the overall economy. 🙌 During the 2nd webinar in the series, ‘public transport as an enabler for growth’ chaired by our Projects Director Cathryn Jones, our experts will delve into this topic and share their insights. Join Jenny Raggett (Director, Transport for New Homes), Dominic Walley (Founder and Director, Connected Economics), Thorsten Donn (Office for Urban Planning and Housing, Stuttgart), Katja Stille (Director, Tibbalds) and David Milner (Director, CREATE STREETS) for what’s set to be a thought-provoking and insightful discussion! ➡️ https://loom.ly/uMnk88I #transport #publictransport #mobility #integratedpublictransport #integratedtransport #bus #buses #rail #tram #lightrail #masstransit #integratedtransportsystem #integratedtransportnetwork

Roadways are more than just paths from one place to another; they are lifelines that connect people, cities, and economies. Modern roads reflect advancements in engineering and design, balancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Highlighting well-planned roadways or infrastructure projects showcases how they contribute to smoother travel and economic growth. #Infrastructure #SmartRoads The evolution of roadways also demonstrates innovative approaches, from eco-friendly materials to smart road technology that improves traffic flow and safety. Understanding the importance of well-maintained and intelligently designed roadways reminds us of their role in supporting communities and facilitating progress. #Transportation #RoadSafety

Our exploration of the rail transport sector this week has highlighted the evolving landscape of station design. Here are 5 insights that have shaped our approach: ▪️ Focusing on the people who use these stations is key. ▪️ Modern stations are more than transit points; they’re vibrant community hubs. ▪️ From tailored Green Star ratings to integrating renewable energy sources, station designs prioritise environmental responsibility and long-term viability. ▪️ Addressing fire safety in integrated station developments is complex so a good fire engineer is essential. ▪️ By considering the full lifecycle of a development, designs can adapt to future needs and technologies to deliver stations that are resilient and ready for whatever comes next. As the rail sector evolves, it continues to connect people and places in meaningful ways, fostering growth and enriching lives. Here’s to a future where every journey begins and ends in a thoughtfully designed, sustainable and user-centric station. #MakingSpacesWork #Transport #Rail Tetra Tech High Performance Buildings Group | Cosentini Associates | Glumac | Hoare Lea

The Challenge of Shielding #FixedObstacles in Urban and Rural Areas 🗓 Wednesday, June 26 at 10:15 AM   Join us for a compelling presentation led by Stefano Maria Caterino, Product Marketing Manager at SMA Road Safety, as part of the 2nd International Conference and Peer Exchange on #RoadSafety hosted by the Transportation Research Board in Orlando.   #Urbanareas present significant challenges in protecting fixed obstacles, a critical issue globally. This session highlights the urgent need for effective solutions, particularly on municipal roads lacking advanced safety systems.   #Keychallenges include:   #RegulatoryGaps: Some countries lack mandates for road barriers in areas with speeds below 70 km/h (40 mph). #Design Complexity: Balancing safety criteria with historic or green space areas poses unique challenges.   Discover innovative solutions that safeguard road users while preserving #urbanaesthetics. Stefano will present case studies demonstrating effective approaches that minimize disruption to surroundings.   Join us to explore these solutions and the collaborative efforts between restraint system manufacturers and #roadmanagers for enhanced road safety.   ROBERTO IMPERO Assia Viola Michael Rahach, P.E.

We’re back with a new SYSTRA X Landor LINKS Ltd webinar series on 17th September! 🧑💻 Announcing… 🥁 ‘Developing integrated public transport systems to compete with the car’. 🚗 To truly compete with the private car, public transport systems need to be planned and delivered as connected and integrated networks - not just 'mode by mode' offers that too often compete instead of complement. And, a successful multimodal strategy must focus not only on creating viable networks, but also including key mobility management strategies such as: 💷 Pricing reforms 🅿️ Positive parking policy 🚞 Land use development impacts 🤝 Community liveability The new three-part series will ultimately ask - how do we integrate a series of modal layers to provide a seamless, convenient and attractive system for all? We’ll be kicking off the series with ‘Building a successful public transport network’ on 17th September. The first webinar, chaired by SYSTRA's Senior Consultant Marc Winsland, will consider why the key elements for a successful public transport network seem so difficult to deliver in the UK. 👀 Join Gideon Salutin (Senior Researcher at Social Market Foundation and author of ‘Getting the Measure of Transport Poverty’), Beate Kubitz (transport consultant and co-author of ‘Mobility as a Service: Its development, deployment, and future’), Melanie Watson (independent public transport consultant) and our very own David Connolly (Director of Low Carbon Mobility) for what’s set to be a thought-provoking and insightful discussion! ➡️ https://loom.ly/uMnk88I #transport #publictransport #mobility #integratedpublictransport #integratedtransport #bus #buses #rail #tram #lightrail #masstransit #integratedtransportsystem #integratedtransportnetwork
