Main Roads is in a period of immense transition and technological change as we increasingly embrace technology in every aspect of what Main Roads do, and what they offer their customers.
The Main Roads Intelligent Transport Systems Master Plan and Roadmap 2022-30 reveals another major uplift in this area and aims to strengthen leadership, enhance skills and work methods, and re-emphasise Main Roads focus on how technology and data will continue to bring positive changes in how we transport people and goods throughout Western Australia.
Main Roads is also implementing a number of ITS initiatives including their 2nd Smart Freeway, which is currently under construction, and mitigating the impact on commuters during an 18-month shut down of the Armadale train line to facilitate a significant number of level crossing removals. For the first time on this scale in WA, an overall ITS system approach is at the core of an impact mitigation strategy which will provide “business as usual” legacy in Western Australia in utilising world class Network Operations techniques enabled through ITS.
We invite you to join us at for the Perth ITS Business Networking Event in October, where you will have the opportunity to learn about how Main Roads, in collaboration with stakeholders, is bringing its ITS Master Plan to life and the latest developments within WA's transport industry firsthand.
