Traffic Management

WARP Training Australia | Why AutoCAD Is Important in Traffic Management

As the traffic management industry evolves, the use of advanced software and technology is being adopted to maximise productivity, increase efficiency and reduce hazards and errors. In particular, AutoCAD has become increasingly popular for planning traffic management projects and creating clear, in-depth drawings to formulate strategies.

A good traffic management planner is more than just someone who holds an accreditation. Keep your skills up to date and evolve with industry demands by learning more about AutoCAD for traffic management.

Creating Traffic Guidance Schemes

A visual representation of traffic control plans, Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) provide all contractors and stakeholders with a clear and detailed scope of a work site or traffic management area. A good traffic management planner will have both on-site experience as well as competence creating quality TGS for projects of various sizes. Created based on managing the safety of workers, traffic controllers, road users and the general public, a comprehensive TGS enhances the success and productivity of a traffic management project.

While TGS drawings have traditionally been completed by hand, a number of software and programs – including AutoCAD – make drawings more precise, effective and detailed.

Clarity and Accuracy

Ideal for creating TGS designs, AutoCAD allows you to create high quality, clear and precise drawings. Helping to maximise productivity and minimise misunderstandings, TGS created with AutoCAD are becoming increasingly popular for traffic management projects across the state and country. For some more complex projects, it’s even a requirement.

Allowing you to create TGS with increased speed, accuracy and efficiency compared to manual drawings or basic software, AutoCAD skills and capabilities give you a competitive edge.

Celebrating the 2018 AFL Grand Final West Coast Win in Langley Park

Celebrating the 2018 AFL Grand Final West Coast Win in Langley Park

After an incredible win down in Melbourne at the 2018 AFL Grand Final, the West Coast Eagles returned home to Perth and were met with a welcome reserved for legends. Held at Langley Park, crowds of excited West Coast Eagles fans celebrated and bonded over an amazing win that saw them defeat Collingwood 79-74. One of the most unpredictable matches of AFL history, the West Coast Eagles came out victorious.

Fans began to head over to Langley Park hours before the celebratory ceremony was set to begin at 2.30pm. By the time the premiership heroes arrived, crowds were heavy at around 40,000. Players took to the stage to ecstatic applause and cheers from dedicated supporters, soaking in the praise and admiration of the city they’d done proud.

After thanking fans and snapping a selfie with the crowd – complete with the stunning Perth cityscape as a backdrop – the fun continued with food and drink, activities and entertainment for punters of all ages.

Providing Effective Event and Traffic Management

The West Coast win was one of the most anticipated and hoped-for moments in the Perth community. After the nail-biting match culminated in glory, Perth punters were excited to get the chance to cheer on their team in person at Langley Park. With a high expected turnout, WARP Group was put to task to provide effective event and traffic management services.

Our traffic management and traffic control teams were responsible for safely and effectively closing the surrounding roads; keeping families, punters and staff safe while they celebrated the West Coast win. Thanks to the hard work of our event and traffic management professionals, the day went ahead with no complications and all event attendees moved safely and easily to and from Langley Park.

Become an Advanced Worksite Traffic Manager with WTA

Embark on an exciting and rewarding career with training from Warp Training Australia (WTA). Based in Perth, we lead informative and accredited traffic management courses to help you obtain a qualification as an Advanced Worksite Traffic Manager (AWTM). Taught by industry professionals, our course prepares you with up to date and practical knowledge and skills for competitive traffic management jobs.

Your MRWA AWTM accreditation allows you to undertake the designing and creation of a traffic management plan (TMP) for works across WA.

What is a Traffic Management Plan?

A TMP details how traffic, works and road users will be managed during roadworks. Requiring the expertise of an accredited Advanced Worksite Traffic Manager, a good TMP enhances productivity and project success.

Once a Traffic Controller has one year of experience on the road, they’re able to sit the Advanced Worksite Traffic Management Course to become a planner. Planners need to demonstrate the ability to design Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGSs) using programs including AutoCAD and Rapid Plan.

At WTA, we provide comprehensive training for individuals with a solid understanding of computers but with limited AutoCAD experience. Our AutoCAD for TGS Design course gives students detailed and practical experience using the fundamentals of AutoCAD for traffic management planning.

Preparation of Traffic Management Plans

For all works requiring traffic management on or around roads, a Traffic Management Plan will need to be prepared. Some of these TMP’s will be very detailed and will only be used for the job that they are prepared for. Some other TMP’s (Generic TMP’s) can be used on a variety of suitable projects.

TMPs can only be prepared by individuals who have completed the MRWA Advanced Worksite Traffic Management Course and hold a current MRWA Accreditation. Planners must have the knowledge and experience required to design a TMP and may be required to have specialist support in some circumstances.

TMPs need to contain documentation of completed risk assessments, practices and strategies to manage and mitigate risks and must also contain traffic guidance schemes (TGS’s) that detail all traffic controls required for every stage of works.

Find out more about creating a comprehensive and detailed TMP with Main Roads WA’s TMP Preparation Guidelines.

Become a Traffic Planning Manager

To become a Traffic Planning Manager, you need to gain an MRWA Accreditation as an Advanced Worksite Traffic Manage. At WTA, our Advanced Worksite Traffic Management (AWTM) course provides students with the theory and practical knowledge to design complex and non-complex traffic management plans for a variety of scenarios.

A hands-on and practical course, we teach in-demand skills to allow you to gain real-world experience in advanced worksite traffic management. Our courses create competitive, innovative and experienced professionals ready to take on the challenges that come with a job as a traffic management planner in WA.

Safe and Effective Works and Event Traffic Management in Perth

When it comes to event traffic management and traffic control, safety and effectiveness are our top two priorities. As Perth’s trusted traffic management professionals, WARP Group provides an extensive range of high-quality traffic control courses and services centred on maintaining the strict safety standards set out in the MRWA’s Code of Practice.

Safer Roads Are Our Priority

As Australia’s largest state, Western Australia has over 170,000km of roads. With roads regularly requiring work and maintenance, effective traffic management is essential to maintain safety standards and worksite productivity. At WARP Group, we adhere to the MRWA’s Code of Practice – in line with state legislation and national standards – to promote safe and effective practices on roads.

The Code of Practice has been carefully formulated to protect all road users, including drivers, pedestrians, workers and traffic management teams. We encourage all traffic management workers to read through the MRWA’s Code of Practice and familiarise themselves with concepts, procedures and recommendations.

By following the MRWA’s Code of Practice, we can work together to maintain safer worksites and roads for all stakeholders. Find out more about the Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice – March 2018. Download it here.

What’s the Purpose of the Code of Practice?

The Code of Practice is centred on enhancing safety and productivity by providing a number of useful and practical standards and recommendations, helping to:

  • Maintain the safety of all road users and workers
  • Establish clear procedures and systems for traffic management
  • Minimise disruptions and inconvenience
  • Enhance productivity and results

Traffic Management for Events Code of Practice

The Western Australian government sets out the Traffic Management for Events Code of Practice. Designed to complement the Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice, it provides greater detail of traffic management issues common during events.

Read through the Traffic Management for Events Code of Practice here.

Approval Required to Work Within Road Reserves

Before beginning works in road reserves, approval needs to be obtained from the agency responsible for the care, control and management of relevant roads. You also need to seek authorisation from all other relevant authorities before the commencement of work. This might include agreeing to variations to the application of the Code of Practice or Australian standards as well as development, heritage, environmental, cultural and other clearances. Emergency services, police, public transport authorities and other relevant stakeholders may also need to be notified.

All approvals to conduct works on roads issues by the MRWA, Local Governments or other authorities should be noted on the Traffic Management Plan. Mandatory traffic management conditions are also to be included within approval.

Find out more about approvals required to work within road reserves here.

Ensuring a Smooth Event with Quality Traffic Management

For any large event or construction project to run smoothly, traffic flow management is absolutely essential and should never be taken lightly. Effective traffic management is the correct combination of signs, human resources and adequate planning, which WARP Group has perfected through experience over the years.

We’ve outlined the importance of each of the components of traffic management below.

 

Traffic control signs

Signs play an important role in directing traffic and allowing motorists to quickly realise what it is they need to do. The benefits of signs are that they are easily recognisable, as drivers are used to seeing them on the roads each day and they are usually respected and followed.

The range of different signs that WARP Group uses allow motorists to have a complete understanding of what they need to do in different situations. This is crucial in the effective management of any event, roadworks and maintenance.

 

Qualified traffic controllers

While signs play a key role in alerting motorists what they need to do, qualified traffic controllers go a step further by directing traffic and controlling any problems that may arise. Drivers often respond immediately to any directions given by traffic controllers, who are also there to communicate, should the driver have any questions or concerns.

At WARP Group, our qualified traffic controllers know how to manage a variety of situations to the absolute best of their ability. Our experience and training give them the ability to make decisions when required. We understand the challenges of traffic management and are solutions driven to provide the best possible service.

 

Adequate planning

All events and construction projects are unique, which is why a crucial component of traffic flow management is thorough planning. By working alongside our clients, we are in a position to pre-empt any problems, ensuring events run smoothly and most importantly safely.

Here at WARP Group, we pride ourselves on the efficient planning we undertake in order to satisfy each of our unique clients. We work closely with our clients to completely understand their needs and why traffic management is important for their particular event or project. In other words, the client helps us to strategically identify solutions.

During procedures, traffic can be an absolute nightmare and is, at times, detrimental to the project, as a whole. However, by utilising professional traffic management services, these events will run smoothly, giving organisers, motorists and everyone involved, peace of mind.

At WARP Group, the client comes first and our expert team goes above and beyond to ensure we deliver traffic management services that satisfy all parties and help to achieve the best results. WARP Group believe that the client should focus on the event itself, and let us manage the traffic.
