Agreement has just come through that the visit to VicRoads Traffic Management Centre (TMC) is set down for 2 PM on Tuesday 13 November. The 90-minute presentation will be in two parts – 1. The TMC operations room with the Centre Manager, Keith Weegberg, showing video setups, surveillance, and how a chain of on-off ramps can be grouped to manage flows or breakdowns; 2. A discussion of the current micro-management approach to freeway flow and, some usage/ behavioural statistics.

I suggest that we meet at VicRoads, 60 Denmarks St, Kew, just south of Kew Junction at no later than 1:45-50 PM for it will take time to sign visitors in to the building. Parking on site will be very limited I expect (there may be spaces in a linear car parking area between the office and Barkers Rd, accessible from Denmark St) but I have used the shopping centre car park in Walpole St on the north side of High St. It is designated as a 2-hr limit but a Tuesday afternoon should not be too busy so the parking police may be elsewhere. Also, there could be on-street parking spaces on the office side of High Street. Kew Junction is serviced by the 109 and 48 tram routes and by buses from Doncaster.

Numbers are strictly limited to 18. Please contact Bill Saggers to see if there are still places left.
