Freight Planning / Modelling
We have been involved in large scale state wide projects such as:​
-
Western Rail Program (Victoria), 2024
-
Murray Basin Freight Investment (Victoria), 2020-2023
-
Consolidated Freight Study (New South Wales), 2024
-
More Train More Services (New South Wales), 2020-2022
-
SEQ Freight Study and Port of Brisbane, 2021-2023
​​
We have modelled complex state-wide freight networks in conjunction with passenger traffic, modelling scenarios with over 150 freight slots per day in some states. This extensive experience in freight planning enables us to provide comprehensive consulting and advice across all aspects of modelling, including:
​
-
Detailed infrastructure planning
-
Rolling Stock modelling and runtime calculations based on Freight train Wagons and Locomotives arrangement
-
Development of resilient freight timetables, considering network challenges and operational constraints.
-
Cycle time assessment and planning for marshalling Yards and Port area movements.
​
We have modelled complex freight networks across Victoria, New South Wales and South East Queensland, integrating diverse commodity types and coordinating with mix traffic, including passenger services!
