What to expect

Transport data is becoming an essential tool for councils seeking to make informed decisions about infrastructure investment, development assessment, traffic management, and long-term planning. But with growing volumes of data available, how can local government practitioners identify the right insights and apply them effectively?

Join us for this practical online webinar exploring how transport data can support evidence-based decision-making across local government. Designed for transport planners, traffic engineers, asset managers, engineering professionals and council decision-makers, this session will showcase emerging tools and approaches that help translate data into better outcomes for communities.

Dr Supun Perera | Senior Research Fellow | Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies and Project Director, TRIPS
Supun will introduce the Trip Rate Integrated Planning System (TRIPS), demonstrating how the platform can support local government practitioners in transport planning, policy development and development assessment. Learn how data-driven insights can help councils better understand travel behaviour, forecast demand and strengthen the evidence base for decision-making.

Martin Prowse | CEO | Matrix Australia 
The presentation will cover different data collection methodologies and an overview of the strengths & challenges each offer. Where does AI fit in and what is the current use of AI in data collection and reporting.

The presentations will be followed by an interactive panel discussion and audience Q&A, providing attendees with the opportunity to put questions directly to the speakers and explore practical applications for their own organisations.
