Veitch Lister Consulting

The High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA), which is tasked with advising on, planning, developing and overseeing the construction and operation of a transformational network along Australia’s east coast, is on course to deliver the Sydney to Newcastle High Speed Rail Business Case with tenders awarded to leading experts.   We’re happy to announce that VLC will deliver demand modelling for the EY-led Economics, Funding and Financing, and Development Modelling work package. Our team will undertake modelling for the initial Sydney to Newcastle connection, as well as deliver a new east coast model and initial forecasts between Melbourne and Brisbane. #demandmodelling #HSRA #highspeedrail #australia

Queensland’s announcement of incoming 50c public transport fares reminded us of a recent modelling exercise where we took this policy one step further and asked: what would happen if PT was free in South East Queensland? Take a look at the results we found after quickly analysing PT demand mode share, road network performance, assessing its potential economic impacts and more: #publictransport #queensland #transportmodelling #freept

Building an equitable future starts with recognising our past. For Australians, National Reconciliation Week is a time to look at our shared history and actively explore what that means for our path to reconciliation. So, let's stay committed and connected as we build communities that value the histories and cultures of our First Nations peoples - now more than ever.

Many Australian State Government Transport Authorities are currently developing Activity Based Models (ABMs) for strategic transport modelling, so what can Australia's planning community expect from them? At our upcoming webinar with the AITPM - Leadership in Traffic and Transport, Dan Jenkins will bring his hands-on experience to the table to discuss the motivations and applications behind implementing New Zealand's first Agent-Activity Based Model (A2BM).
