5. Background to the project
Congestion during peak period so travel off-peak
Works in off-peak period, with increasing restrictions
Works programmes becoming more inefficient

6. Project brief
Consider optimal roadspace utilisation recognising needs of stakeholders
Consider alternative options
Recognising implications for safety, cost, life of network
So what did we do?
A roadspace utilisation model to assess options in a considered and structured approach

7. Roadspace utilisation model
How does it work?
Scenarios/considerations/categories are agreed with stakeholders prior to assessment
Series of scenarios, but limited to three in the example – restricted/unrestricted/full closure
Selected four standard considerations – safety/environment/value for money/public perception

8. Roadspace utilisation model
Series of categories
Each choice generates a simple score – in form of 5/3/1 or red/amber/green
Score is discussed with stakeholders before selecting final delivery model

9. Roadspace utilisation model
Run model v3

10. Benefits Longer shift, more output, shorter programme
Reduction in scheme cost
New products, equipment, methods
Provide opportunities for contract incentives

11. The next step
Engage with stakeholders for further development, but how?
