At BE Engineering Solutions, we understand that effective transport planning services are crucial for developing efficient, sustainable, and safe transportation systems. Our expertise in this field enables us to create tailored solutions that address the unique challenges faced by communities across Australia.
What Are Transport Planning Services?
Understanding Transport Planning Services
Transport planning involves designing and evaluating transportation systems to meet the mobility needs of people and goods. It encompasses various aspects, including traffic engineering, public transport development, road safety, and infrastructure design.
By considering factors such as population growth, urban development, and environmental sustainability, we aim to create integrated transport networks that enhance connectivity and quality of life.
Our Approach to Transport Strategies
At BE Engineering Solutions, we adopt a comprehensive approach to our planning services, focusing on the following key areas:
Traffic Engineering and Management
Efficient traffic flow is essential for reducing congestion and improving safety. Our team conducts thorough traffic analyses to design solutions that optimise road usage.
For instance, we have collaborated with GHD to enhance public transport efficiency in the Golden Grove Corridor Upgrade project in South Australia.
Public Transport
Developing accessible and reliable public transport systems is vital for sustainable urban mobility. We work closely with local authorities to design bus networks, rail systems, and other transit options that cater to community needs.
Our involvement in the Adelaide Metropolitan Bus Priority SIDRA Modelling project demonstrates our commitment to improving public transport services.
Road Safety Engineering
Ensuring the safety of all road users is a top priority. We conduct road safety audits and implement measures to mitigate risks.
Our assessment of the Flagstaff Road Upgrade in Flagstaff Hill, South Australia, highlights our dedication to enhancing road safety through meticulous analysis and design.
Active Transport Promotion
Encouraging walking and cycling contributes to healthier communities and reduces environmental impact. We develop infrastructure plans that support active transport modes. Our Walking and Cycling Plan for the City of Port Adelaide Enfield is a testament to our efforts in promoting sustainable transport options.
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
Integrating technology into transport systems enhances efficiency and user experience. We design ITS solutions that provide real-time information and improve traffic management. Our expertise in this area ensures that modern transport networks are adaptable and responsive to changing demands.
Case Studies
Our portfolio showcases a range of successful projects that demonstrate our capabilities in this area:
-
Rosewater Rail Line Shared Path
We developed a high-level concept design for a shared path along the Rosewater Rail Line in Port Adelaide. This project aimed to create a safe and functional route for pedestrians and cyclists, aligning with community and council goals.
-
Jenkins Terrace Intersection Upgrade
In Naracoorte, South Australia, we conducted a road safety audit and delivered concept designs on behalf of DIT to improve the intersection’s safety and efficiency. Our actionable recommendations will contribute to a safer transport environment in the region.
-
Holland Street Reconstruction
Engaged by the City of West Torrens, we provided comprehensive road reconstruction design and documentation for Holland Street in Thebarton. This project enhanced the infrastructure’s durability and safety for all users.
Community Engagement
We believe that to be successful, active community involvement needs to happen. Engaging with stakeholders ensures that our solutions are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the communities we serve.
By incorporating public feedback, we create transport systems that are not only efficient but also widely accepted and utilised.
We also provide community engagement services and support to our clients, including communications development, community drop in’s and managing community enquires and communication through the design and construct phase of the project.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of our transport planning services. We strive to minimise environmental impact by promoting eco-friendly transport modes and designing infrastructure that supports them.
Our commitment to sustainability aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
Future Directions
As urban areas continue to grow, the demand for innovative transport solutions increases. At BE Engineering Solutions, we are dedicated to staying at the forefront of technological advancements and industry best practices.
Our goal is to continue providing transport planning services that meet the evolving needs of Australian communities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Traffic engineering focuses on optimising road usage to reduce congestion and improve safety. By analysing traffic patterns and implementing effective management strategies, it ensures smoother and safer journeys for all road users. Effective public planning provides accessible and reliable transit options, reducing reliance on private vehicles. This leads to decreased traffic congestion, lower emissions, and improved mobility for all community members. ITS integrate technology into transportation networks to enhance efficiency and user experience. They provide real-time information, improve traffic management, and support the development of smart cities with responsive transport solutions. We design infrastructure that supports walking and cycling, encouraging healthier lifestyles and reducing environmental impact. Our plans include safe pathways, bike lanes, and facilities that make active transport modes more attractive and convenient. A road safety audit is a formal examination of a road or intersection by an independent team to identify potential safety issues. It aims to mitigate risks and enhance the safety of all road users through targeted improvements. Engaging with the community ensures that transport solutions align with the needs and preferences of residents. It fosters public support, identifies local issues, and leads to more effective and accepted transportation projects. Sustainable transport planning aims to reduce environmental impact by promoting eco-friendly modes and designing efficient infrastructure. It contributes to lower carbon emissions, improved air quality, and the overall well-being of current and future generations.
