This is a day-long technical workshop conducted by Bicycle Victorias expert staff. It will provide transport professionals with the tools to plan,
prioritise and deliver high-quality bicycle networks.
The day begins with a virtual tour of a variety of bicycle facilities from Australia and overseas. This will be followed by interactive
presentations on bicycle planning, including developing a 15-year network, prioritising routes, designing segments and developing a works program.
In the afternoon, we will ride some of Melbournes bicycle paths and lanes. This will give participants direct experience of the level of service and
safety that different designs provide. The 8km tour, with practical exercises on route, begins after a ferry ride to Williamstown. It will take in bicycle paths, lanes, intersections and roundabouts and is followed
by a facilitated discussion. Participants will be taken back to the city by bus.

aaSIDRA is an advanced analytical tool for evaluation of alternative intersection designs in terms of
capacity, level of service and a wide range of performance measures. This forum will introduce the latest version of the software package, demonstrate its new features, and discuss traffic engineering
issues related to the advanced traffic modelling methods used in aaSIDRA. Information will also be presented on the latest versions of the US software packages TRANSYT-7F for coordinated signal
networks and the Highway Capacity Software that implements the latest Highway Capacity Manual 2000 edition.
