City of Stirling Transport Asset Managment Plan

4.3 Demand management plan The City manages demand for new services through a combination of existing assets, upgrades to the existing assets and provision of new assets, along with non-asset solutions like insuring against risks and managing failures. The City currently implements the following demand management techniques: • Passive traffic management devices to restrict vehicle speeds, access to large vehicles and to encourage the use of alternative routes

• Signals and traffic management devices to manage traffic movement • Education and promotion of alternative modes of transport through the improvement of the pathway network • Integrated intelligent

transport system to improve the efficiency and reliability of traffic management systems.

Key opportunities to manage the demand of transport assets are listed in Table 4.3.

The development of detailed demand management plans will be required to provide more accurate forecasts for: • Asset maintenance and rehabilitation

• New and in-fill development • Customer service demands.
