  13. Tram PriorityWhy? • Drivers for tram priority: • Journey Time Savings • Regularity / Punctuality • Total Economic Benefit

  14. Our Achievements

  15. Performance Results Since the inception of the KDR franchise, Yarra Trams has exceeded the service delivery target of 98% and the punctuality performance target of 77%, for every single month. This has been achieved through a complete reorganisation of the maintenance and service delivery. However, we think the people of Melbourne deserve a more reliable service.

  18. Infrastructure Track renewals and overhead works are inconvenient, but indispensable. Physical assets can only be economically maintained for up to to 30 years, After which capital replacement is the most cost effective and safest option.

  19. St Kilda Road Re-design

  20. Our vision • Safe & reliable • Fully accessible • Sustainable • Fully segregated • Full priority at signals • Intermodal • Intuitive & informative • Comfortable & clean From a “tram” to a “light rail”

  21. Priority = Capacity Route 96 • Analysis • VicRoads trialling tram priority on Nicholson Street • VicRoads modelling tram priority on Bourke Street

  22. Priority ModellingDynamic Priority for Trams • A dynamic tram priority system in simulation that calls tram phases on-demand and utilises: • Green time extension • Minimum phases Example: Swanston St
