New Project: Machine learning models for road maintenance investment decision making
Road maintenance investment decisions are conventionally made by experts with decades of experience. Those experts are often occupied by a heavy workload so they often have limited time to train new staff. The aim is to develop an efficient and robust data driven decision-making model for road maintenance investment planning...
New Project: A real-time model for estimating delays at traffic signals
This project will develop a pilot model that utilises secondary datasets (e.g. signal timing data) within Main Roads Western Australia to estimate overall delay at intersections in real-time.Real-time information, especially delay time at intersections, is valuable for traffic operations but is not readily available and costly to procure. Existing data...
