  • Support development application assessments and prepare traffic sequence reports for legal and insurance purposes.
  • Identify and coordinate resolution of critical faults affecting network efficiency.
Specialisations and development:
  • Build proficiency in traffic signal operations, corridor optimisation, and smart motorway technologies.
  • Gain hands-on experience with STREAMS traffic management software.
  • Learn to interpret traffic signal drawings and apply relevant standards such as AUSTROADS and MRTS.
  • Develop traffic modelling skills using SIDRA and LinSig.
  • Strengthen capabilities in stakeholder communication, technical reporting, and operational analysis.
