Planning for successful cycling infrastructure: Bendigo case study
Watch the recoding of our 22 April webinar, the latest in our series of project outcome webinars, Planning for successful cycling infrastructure: Development of the Victorian Bicycle Simulation and Prioritisation Modelling Tool using Bendigo as a case study.
Background
Working towards the achievement of an ambitious active travel target of 25% of modes by 2030, Department of Transport and Planning partnered with RMIT to develop the Victorian Bicycle Simulation and Prioritisation Modelling tool using Bendigo as a regional case study.
The tool combines spatial, infrastructure and safety data integration, demand forecasting and econometric scenario projections to understand how to best achieve successful rollouts that maximise the benefits of cycling as a transport mode.
As the Modelling cycling investments in regional areas project concludes, the team will present their work developing the tool and how it has been used in Bendigo and answer questions from the audience.

I enjoyed this seminar on RMIT’s modelling of bike transportation in Bendigo. As a more or less retired VC, I would have liked to see the nice modelling contrasted with some experimental measurements of designed changes in bike path routes that had been implemented around that city. Hopefully the value of the model would be confirmed strongly with this approach. Thank you for holding the seminar. regards, Greg Smith
