FNQROC Update - September 2016

By: Darlene Irvine, Executive Officer...

TMR Engineering Technical Forum – 23 – 25 August 2016

Mark Bailey, Minister for Main Roads, Road Safety and Ports and Minister for Energy, Biofuels and Water Supply

Customer focus
Collaboration
Encourage innovations, use of new technologies
$20bil program over next 4 years
2020 semi-automated vehicles in showrooms for sale. (Still trying to work out the algorithms for kangaroo).

Dave Stewart, DG, Depart. Of the Premier and Cabinet

Focus on:

Indigenous councils
Bio medics
Innovation - advance Queensland
Artificial intelligence
Technology disrupters - opportunities
LNG
Qld - no longer the smart state - the start up state.
Bio future and bio fuels - 10 year road map and action plan (note - opportunity for our region)

America (defence force) uses 350,000 barrels of oil per day - needs to reduce this - Qld has signed a cooperation doc with US

Rob McInerney- CEO iRAP (International Road Assessment Program)

Consolidated research from across the world and develop star rating for vehicle, cyclists, pedestrians. Crash costs halve for each star rating improvement.

Car smoothed star rating vs KSI cost per vKt.
Why not take on a gateway project $5b and apply that as a project to lift road safety across all Qld roads? Scale up to get benefit. $60m black spot is too little.
Set goal - 3 star or better. (How do we get our roads rated? - look at this) - set an ambitious policy.
ANRAM 50% of key routes be 2017 - no 1 or 2 star by 2020 (Netherlands)

Angellala Ck Bridge explosion to reconstruction

Miles Vass, Deputy DG, Infrastructure Management and Delivery TMR

Digital engineering on all projects by 2022 - likely to be by 2018. Digital engineering on all projects over $100m from next year.

Fire Service

There was no radio or mobile coverage - they are Calling on increased repeaters (linked to Federal legislation changes) - could not get good information from on ground.

Police

Has the same issue - 2nd police car couldn't talk to police car behind fire car to let them know what was going on. note police car went with firies not knowing what was going on - communication issues

Smart infrastructure management and implementation of Building Information Modelling technology and processes in transport and Main Roads

Gave an update and overview of the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its whole of government approach to its introduction for the procurement and delivery of infrastructure.

There will be changes to the department guidelines, milestones and timelines for implementation. BIM was used for the Angellala Ck Bridge and Miles Vass presentation yesterday advised that BIM would be used on $100m plus projects from next year with an aim of all projects by 2018 but goal is 2022. (Note: State infrastructure Plan says 2023)

Improves planning and costs, clash detection through design collaborations, essentially you build the asset in a virtual sense - can be used all the way through the supply chain. Big gains through automated data hand over for O&M however this is where they have their biggest hurdles to solve - linked to asset management. UK has been in this space since 2011.

There is a national Digital Engineering Working Group. TMR has dedicated BIM resource and Qld BIM working Group.

(Note: if TMR goes full BIM where does that leave councils? What are we doing in this space?)

Policy lead is Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning. Technical Lead TMR

Wulkuraka Maintenance Centre and Mackay Ring Road has BIM enabled attributes. BIM pilot - Ipswich Motorway (Rocklea to Darra - R2D) - Project specific EIR developed.

Future Challenges:

IFC File format Definition - want to be nationally consistent - national working group
Data Quantity storage
Management protocols
Governance
Updating Data - what do we actually want for asset management
Digital Amnesia - technical knowledge becomes lost to humanity because of the technical leaps - meaning as technology leaps forward it becomes difficult to read the old files.

Key points

Digital engineering to become business as usual on all projects.
It is not just an IT system
Asset classification is critical to enabling digital engineering
Most of the technology already exists.
Will be some interesting things come from the national working group

AECOM have done a lot of work in this space

Innovative ITS Solutions in a Regional Environment

Flood monitoring sensors and imaging and sending real time information - Coondoo Ck , Jackass Ck and Cobbs Ck (on Bruce Hwy) - could be linked to advisory signs located at safe positions where the flood area has dodgy approaches i.e. Crest, curve.

Estimated installation costs - $75,000 per site
Utilises primary satellite solution - in k band to avoid rain fade.
30 photos a month - around $200 per month - can save photos until event closing in.
Could link in blue emergency phone at these locations.

Cycling Planning and infrastructure program delivery in Department of Transport and Main Roads

Queensland Cycle strategy 2011 - 2021 but in the process of doing a new one.
Focussed on Principal cycle network from the strategy.
Focussed on commuter routes - ones that take people to economic nodes.
Does trigger DA condition.
Regional Principle cycle networks will be published soon (FNQ updated) and covers 98% of population and 160 communities.
Priority routes identified to have greatest impact to the cycle network - 550km which will feed into pipeline of work.
There is cycle network LG grants - this sits outside TIDS.
Strong reliance on Strava as a data source. Strava heatmaps freely available on the Internet.

Regional Transport Plans

Infrastructure Australia - State and Local Government need to go hand in hand - will not fund if there is only support from one.

Future approaches for collecting personal travel data in Qld (Lessons from the Future Pathways Review)

2013 - Survey done in Cairns.- minimum five yearly survey cycles or in response to major network change.

Collecting where they travel, who they travel with and how far they travel.

HTS = housing travel survey.

HTS data =

person type,
time,
mode,
purpose,
no. Of stops,
total trips,
duration,
access/egress and
Length

Randomly selected household completes a Travel diary of all trips in a 24 hour period - 16 page booklet per person. Very complex and difficult to get responses and only getting worse.

Undertaken review:

Qld TravelDiary - sneak peek. Conducting a pilot early next year to help test - broader rollout in May 2017.

Risk management in action - Transport Network Reconstruction Program

TMR Risk management framework which is enterprise wide- based on ISO 31000

Each risk was linked to one of 7 program objectives - If you couldn't link it, it belonged to someone else so they transferred the risk.

Risk recording:

Workplace health and Safety
Environment and Cultural Heritage
Media and Reputation
Financial
Performance and Capabiity
Time and Schedule Delay
Legal and Compliance

Statewide Native Title Register created
