Background to the project Congestion during peak period so travel off-peak Works in off-peak period, with increasing restrictions Works programmes becoming more inefficient
Project brief Consider optimal roadspace utilisation recognising needs of stakeholders Consider alternative options Recognising implications for safety, cost, life of network So what did we do? A roadspace utilisation model to assess options in a considered and structured approach
Roadspace utilisation model How does it work? Scenarios/considerations/categories are agreed with stakeholders prior to assessment Series of scenarios, but limited to three in the example – restricted/unrestricted/full closure Selected four standard considerations – safety/environment/value for money/public perception
Roadspace utilisation model Series of categories Each choice generates a simple score – in form of 5/3/1 or red/amber/green Score is discussed with stakeholders before selecting final delivery model
Roadspace utilisation model Run model v3
Benefits Longer shift, more output, shorter programme Reduction in scheme cost New products, equipment, methods Provide opportunities for contract incentives
The next step Engage with stakeholders for further development, but how? HTMA mailbox - secretariat@htma.infomarking your correspondence with ‘Roadspace utilisation project’ Business cards – hand in at the end of the presentation Review at next HTMA service delivery working group meeting
