The Annual Meeting of the AITPM SA Branch Members of the Australian Institute of Traffic Planning and Management Ltd (ACN 062 495 452) (herein referred to as AITPM) is scheduled for Wednesday 25 June 2025 at 5.30pm (ACST) and will be followed by a dinner.
AITPM and the Heart Foundation are co-hosting this special presentation with Peter Norton, Associate Professor of history in the Department of Engineering and Society at the University of Virginia (USA). The session will be of value for anyone wanting to apply a people-first approach to transport and traffic policy and projects. Such reallocation of public space embeds community health and wellbeing into transport outcomes. It also helps address issues of traffic congestion, urban sprawl and climate change.
Explore how dynamic, scalable traffic models are transforming business case development by bridging the gap between strategic and microsimulation modelling. Clarity Consult and Major Road Projects Victoria will share insights from the Western Freeway Upgrade Business Case, showcasing improved outcomes and faster short list testing. PTV Vision will outline future advancements in modelling frameworks. Ideal for business case developers, transport modellers, and anyone interested in cutting-edge transport planning tools.

Join us for an engaging and forward-thinking webinar presented by Urbis and City Science, exploring how carbon emissions can be quantified and embedded into transport planning. As the climate crisis continues to demand urgent action, transport planning plays a critical role in shaping our path to Net Zero. A vital step in this journey is the ability to assess and communicate the carbon impacts of our transport decisions. This session will showcase a recent collaboration between Urbis and UK-based firm City Science, focused on a groundbreaking project for Inner West Council in Sydney. The project explored innovative methods to assess transport recommendations through a sustainability lens, using City Science’s evidence-led, needs-based approach and proprietary analytical tools.
More than 1.3 million people die each year on the world’s roads, and another 20 to 50 million are seriously injured. Despite continued and increasing efforts over the past decade, road trauma rates have risen globally. In 2024 alone, 282 lives were lost on Victorian roads. How can we leave a safer road legacy for communities now and into the future? Join us for this unique, debate-style event where teams will explore various aspects of road safety, with audience participation through Mentimeter to create a truly collaborative discussion.

Do you want to get a deeper understanding and appreciation of a career in the transport domain and meet other young professionals? NSW/ACT EPN presents the EPN Buddy Program where aspiring students and recent graduates will have the opportunity to network and socialise with other young professionals in the industry in an informal environment. This is a chance to meet new people, ask any burning questions and get insights into possible career choices in the transport industry.
Machine Learning is a form of artificial intelligence concerned with the self-development (without instruction) of rules and algorithms by computers. The area draws from a range of other disciplines including statistics, computer science and neural networks. The use of machine learning is rapidly changing the way we process and understand the world in a variety of fields including engineering and planning. Transport has often been an early adopter of such tools for addressing some of the complex problems that we face. As a tool to assess aspects of travel behaviour and achieve efficiencies in our networks, machine learning has many advantages over traditional approaches but also has some limitations as well. This seminar explores some of these aspects with consideration to its application in real world transport planning cases and how they can transform how we shape the future.
