Incident
Response Management on the CityLink
Motorway
Owner:
Transurban
CityLink Melbourne Limited
Location:
Melbourne, Australia
|
Melbourne, Victoria is a
metropolitan area of more than 3.8 million people. Like most modern urban
centers, the
population has a need to move commuters and products from point to point on an
ever growing basis. For Melbourne, one
answer was CityLink
– one of the world’s first fully electronic toll
roads. CityLink is a 22 kilometer
automated tollway connecting the Tullamarine, West Gate, and Monash
Freeways to
and around the City’s Central Business District, with Australia’s
largest
seaport on Port Phillip Bay, the
Melbourne Airport, and outlying suburbs. The tollway includes the
Burnley and Domain
tunnels to provide uninterrupted flow traffic under the busy CBD. The
contract to build the tollway was awarded
to Transurban in 1995. Transurban is a leading
international toll road developer and investor focusing on long-term ownership
and management of advanced electronic toll roads in Australia and the
United
States. CityLink provides many benefits. Commuters and freight
operators benefit from reduced
travel time between the central business district and other key points
around
the city, more predictable travel times, and reduced fuel cost of an estimated
25 million liters per year by the commercial sector alone. More than
AUD$300 million in economic growth
is attributed to development of the automated tollway.
Mission Critical
In today’s world, improved management of traffic including crisis prevention
and emergency response plans are a necessity in protecting people and property
traveling on transportation facilities like CityLink. Critical infrastructure - especially confined
space facilities like tunnels where delayed or inappropriate response to
emergency situations can be catastrophic – require the best incident response
management practices and technology in order to maximize safety and
throughput. Incident Response Management
is a coordinated set of operational practices enabled by software technology
that recommends best course of action response plans and automates routine
tasks and control functions allowing the user to maintain focus on the
situation. IRM enables rapid,
consistent, and appropriate responses to traffic incidents (accidents, stalls,
etc.), emergency situations (fire, noxious air, security breeches, etc.), and
scheduled events (roadwork, maintenance, etc.).
IRM reduces operator stress by generating and executing coordinated
real-time response plans needed to expertly manage routine or time-sensitive,
critical situations.
