6 Research into Transportation and global change into transportation
6.1 Overview of the transportation system in Australia.
The transport system in Australia involves the use of buses, ferries especially in regions close to
water, and trains. Air transport services are also available for those who can manage the cost.
Taxi and Uber services are common especially in towns and cities and are mostly found in
locations such as train stations, hospitals, tourist attraction terminuses, hotels, and airports. Even
though these are easily accessible, the cost of taxi services is actually high in Australia (Lavina,
2005). These prices are always not negotiable and are usually determined by the meter which
displays prices relevant to the distance traveled. Uber is the most recent means of public

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering12
transport and is preferred by many as it is cheap as long as you have your phone, you can place
an order on where to be picked and taken to.
The rural areas of Australia do not, however, have several transport options as urban centers. It
is therefore important for one to make sure that they have relevant information on local bus
services being offered. The railway transport networks, especially in Melbourne and Sydney,
perform thousands of trips per day in the movement of people and goods. Even though some of
the transport systems in Australia are costly, they are usually secure and well maintained. It is
usually rare to overload and it is punishable by law making it even better in avoiding accidents
(Rasch et al, 2013).
6.2 Government planning and setting according to Transportation problem in
Queensland.
Queensland has one of the greatest and diverse transport systems in Australia. This is of great
importance in the growing economy of the country. In order to achieve a safe, reliable and
efficient transport system in Queensland, the government of Australia thus encourages economic
expansion and prioritizes the views of the people in carrying out changes related to transport
management and planning (Male et al, 2011). This strategy ensures that arising issues are dealt
with adequately to deliver quality transport services to the people of Queensland. There are plans
put in place by the Queensland Transport Policy that will deal with challenges and offer
opportunities in the transport network in the near future. This will be made easier by
technological advancements which will aid in achieving waste emission reduction to the
atmosphere, reducing congestion and improving the services delivered through the transport
system (McCalla, 1999).

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering13
The government of Australia has, therefore, put the following plans in place with the aim of
dealing with transport problems affecting people of Queensland;
 Provision of a more affordable transport means. This will be achieved by the provision
of various ways of purchasing monthly affordable transport subscriptions which will be
important in achieving integrated travel plans for one’s own personal needs. This will
also provide an alternative way of escaping the high cost of private car ownership
programs.
 The use of technological advancements will also be important in accessing transport
systems to improve efficiency and accessibility. This is achieved through the provision of
alternative transport options to older people and individuals with a disability. The new
technology is also used to keep people informed to avoid congestion and make more use
of more viable transport networks. Technology is also used in improving security through
CCTV surveillance cameras which are placed on busy roads and parking places.
 Allocation of funds aimed at improving the infrastructure and management of the
environment. This, therefore, provides conducive environment to achieve and affordable
transport solution to the people of Queensland.
 The government also forms partnerships with other infrastructure improvement related
organizations in order to deliver quality services to the people.
 The government also gets closer to carries questionnaires through social media asking
people difficulties they come across while using public transport. Through this, better
approaches to handling that fulfill customer needs are made.

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering14
The government has put together all these aspects to deliver quality services to the people of
Queensland. This will be very vital in improving the economic growth of Queensland and
Australia as a whole (McDoughall et al, 2003).
6.3 Effects of increasing population and human activities on the Queensland
transportation system.
With the population rapidly growing in Queensland, there are significant impacts on the
transports systems in the region. Massive developments in the transport system have occurred
due to the ever-growing population density to satisfy the increasing demands. The following are
some of the effects of population growth and human activities on the Queensland transport
system;
 The need for employment means that individuals have to travel to works place. There is,
therefore, this has led to increase in the number of transport vessels to facilitate
movements.
 The increasing population means individuals tend to move to urban regions in search of
jobs. This means that roads in urban regions tend to be more developed and equipped
compared to those in rural areas meaning transport systems in urban centers tend to grow
faster.
 The high population also means a high private car ownership programs. The vehicle
manufacturing companies, therefore, make lots of profit for expansion thus a positive
impact on the transport system. There is also a significant growth in cycle companies as
other people may prefer cycling to workplaces (Medhi, 1992).

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering15
 Human activities such as tourism in Queensland also lead to the expansion of transport
systems to facilitate movements.
 Industrial growth also means transport systems leading to those factories should be of
high standards for easy accessibility. This leads to the expansion of roads and transport
systems to these industries.
 While industrial growth might be of positive impact on transport systems, wastes and
gasses released from these factories are released to the environment which can lead to
climatic changes that are likely to damage transport systems through severe floods, high
temperatures, and severe storms.
It is therefore important to note that human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, and
increasing populations can have both negative and positive impacts on Queensland transport
system.
The population growth forecast has therefore been formulated with the objective of increasing
the quality of services to the people of Queensland (Mills & Treagust, 2003).
6.3 Effectiveness of study Desk Research Team.
Improvement of the transport network is very important for the success of the country’s
economy and environment conservation. It is important to monitor transport research programs
in determining whether the plans allocated have been used effectively in maintaining transport
management. Innovative measures have been taken by the government in improving the quality
of services offered through transport, security, and cost-efficiency (Moe et al, 2010).
Through the desk research team, there have been rapid developments in the transport system.
There are strict observations to examine cases of overloading, distances traveled and high

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering16
operation costs thus quality services have therefore been offered to customers through the
intervention of this team.
Furthermore, proposals made by the desk team there have seen funds allocated for emergency
purposes on dealing with emerging issues related to transportation. This can therefore result in
programs that are crucial for the management of transportation.
The desk research team also can generate data which is crucial for the improvement of the
transport sector. This can be done through observation and development of questionnaires which
can air out their view on certain issues aimed at improving the transport sector. This information
can also be important for future use in case a similar situation occurs in the future. This is
therefore important in the provision of information on management and other research projects
(Neri et al, 1994).
Based on these aspects, the desk research team, therefore, has a huge impact on the transport
sector as their findings can be used for recommending certain actions to be taken when need be.
This team can also caution the audience on the importance of observation of rules and the
dangers of neglecting them.
7 Reflection of the effectiveness of the team in developing and sharing
research information and data of your project
7.1 Key transportation issues and solutions for better Transportation in
Queensland
It is important to observe an accessible, reasonable and secure transportation system in
Queensland. Through this, we can be able to do our businesses, report for our jobs in time and
many other beneficial factors (Nguyen, 1998). In order to achieve these benefits, the Draft

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering17
Queensland Transport strategy has been formed with the aim of improving the transport system
for the future. This organization has the responsibility of ensuring;
 Secure transport system for the people of Queensland
 The dependable transport system of goods and the people of Queensland, and
 Reasonable transportation cost on transportation
The following are the key transportation issues and the measures taken to solve them
 Climate and weather-related effects: this can be solved by implementing adaptation
alternatives on our roads through proper transport planning strategies. The government in
collaboration with car manufacturers has put plans to manufacture vehicles with less
emission of contaminants to the atmosphere. The use of unleaded petrol has also been
advised.
 Security to customers: this will be enhanced by the use of the modern technology and
installation of CCTV cameras on our traffics to monitor our roads.
 Accidents: strict rules against overloading, over speeding and other actions that can lead
to accidents have been closely monitored. This has reduced the number of accident cases
in the transportation system.
 Cost of transportation: the government has adopted alternative ways of controlling the
prices of transportation by the provision of other alternative ways of transportation such a
building more railways networks. This is an advantage to those who cannot manage taxi
rates and, therefore, can travel to places by means of a train in Queensland (Patil et al,
20008).
7.2 Business view on Queensland’s Transportation Networks

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering18
A dependable and efficient transport system is of great importance to the economy of
Queensland. The transport of goods and services mostly relies on this reliable transport system to
reach customers (Ravelli et al, 2017). This can be illustrated as in the figure below
Figure 1.1 Transport Network survey (source: CCIQ)
The most important transport system contributing to rapid economic growth in Queensland is by
road. It is followed by other transport systems such as trains, airplanes, and water vessels.
Statistically, almost half of the businesses carried out in Queensland is supported by roads.
In cases of bad transport system management such as high cost and unreliable transport, may
lead to delay in delivery of goods and low ratings from customers (Reidsema et al, 2010). This
has negative impacts negatively on the growth of the business. Some business companies have
therefore devised plans to counter the problems associated with poor transport systems in order
to achieve timely delivery and customer satisfaction. These plans include
 Adequate planning on time to deliver goods and services
 Alternating working hours to escape traffic effects. This ensures timely delivery
especially those ones that are perishable.

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering19
 Setting up businesses in strategic positions to avoid the effects of traffic and easy
accessibility by customers and workers
 Considering alternative forms of transport that can be used to carry out business
operation in an area
When these factors are considered, the business is likely to be favored hence growth and
reduction in operational costs which can be saved or invested into other sections of the business.
7.3 Overcoming capacity constraints
7.1.1 Overview
The capacity constraint has been one of the issues that have led to low ratings on businesses
linked to transport systems and, therefore, business firms have raised a number of questions on
their ability to support them. It is necessary to increase the capacity of these transport networks
in order to satisfy the needs of the ever-increasing population. A strategy focusing on minimizing
these constraints should be implemented to counter negative impacts on business and enhance
movement to various places (Suby et al, 1996).
7.1.2 Capacity constraints in the transport system
The following are some of the constraints in transport systems that impact negatively towards
businesses;
 Overcrowding in the transport station
 Poor planning
 Poor telecommunication systems
 Cost of services
 Limited upgrades old or poor transport systems
 Lack of partnerships between those forms of transport

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering20
 Traffic
7.1.3 Solutions to overcome capacity constraints
The following are some of the solutions which can be taken into consideration
 Reduction of the cost of transportation and making them uncompetitive to other forms of
transport.
 Reducing overcrowding and provision of alternative forms of transport to the people
 Designing roads and the provision of alternative routes through flyovers can be made to
overcome traffics.
 Re-innovation of old or damaged transport networks.
 Formation of partnerships for a uniform rate of cost in using transport systems to
customers.
 Proper planning should be done while constructing roads to facilitate transportation to the
competitively growing businesses (Taylor et al, 1996).
7.4 Past ten-year transportation data calculation
Transport safety data in Queensland is provided by the Department of Road of Transport and
Main Roads. This data provides precise statistics of what happened over a particular duration of
time. New initiatives to make improvements in ensuring a safe transport system can, therefore,
be adopted. These reports or data on transport systems can either be monthly, weekly or annually
and thus it is the choice of one which information will be relevant to what they requires (Thorpe,
2013).
Quite a number of things happen in the transport system. There are accident occurrences when
road safety measures are not observed, such as disobedience to road safety rules, over speeding
or drinking while driving. Most common fatalities occur via road transport networks. It is

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering21
estimated that for the past decade, there are at least 2-5 accident occurrences of roads per day in
Queensland (Ugwu et al, 2016). There could be deaths or injuries in case they happen. Most of
these accidents are usually more common on busy days for example on Christmas days, Easter
holidays or just any other public holiday. For example between 2013-2017, Easter Holidays
there were at least 17 fatalities in road accidents and an estimated 418 individuals were
hospitalized. The diagram below illustrates this incident.
Figure 1.1 Easter holiday road accident statistics between 2013-2014 in Queensland, Australia.
The age group of those include children and adults as shown below.
Figure 1.2

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering22
Road accidents are the most common amongst other forms of transport, and has lots of negative
impacts on the economy of Queensland and Australia as a whole. It is estimated that between
1996 to 2006, the total cost of money spent to manage road transport accidents was almost
$27.12 billion. Such reports are therefore important to lawmakers to be used in campaigning to
people on the importance of safety while using the various transport systems we have around us
(Walling, 2009).
7.6 Diagram of population growth in regional Queensland.
Queensland has one of the largest population increase rates in Australia. The growth rate is
estimated to be 1.7% yearly over the past five years between 2014 to 2018. These resulted from
natural births, immigration from foreign countries and domestic immigrants from other parts of
the country (Australia) (Zhou & Tol, 2005). This is illustrated in the diagram below
Figure 2.1 Population growth in regional Queensland over the past five years, present.

ENG5001Professional skills in Engineering23
Conclusion
Professional engineering is a wide field of study. Having done research on transportation in
Queensland Australia, I came to learn a number of things including the economic effects of an
increase in population on the transport system. I have also gained a lot of attributes needed to be
considered a competent professional engineer. There are also some strategies that can be used to
solve capacity constraints in our roads. The information in this transcript is therefore important
in solving a number of transport-related issues encountered in Australia and mostly in
Queensland
