AITPM Conference – The Latest in transport planning
The Australian Institute of Traffic Planning and Management recently held their annual National Conference this year in Adelaide.
The Institute started out in 1966 with a strong bent towards traffic technology such as co-ordinated traffic lights.
It has since broadened its reach to more fully embrace planners as well as engineers.
The conference provided a wide range of papers and forums and to tell us a bit about some of the interesting information I have on the line the immediate national past president Craig Wooldridge.
- Parking
- The use of Bluetooth data
- cycling networks and
- community engagement (this was part of the traffic engineering forum).

David Brown
David Brown started his working life as a Civil Engineer but you would not want him to design a bridge you wanted to safely walk over. His passion was in traffic engineering and transport planning which is all about how we use our transport systems not how we build them. He soon became involved in commenting on issues through all avenues of the media. He is now a motoring and transport journalist. He test drives a new car each week but his ultimate measure of how good a car is relies on his 12 year old and the Hayden Brown “Will you drive me to school in that car” factor.
