About the project

RSAI examined traffic demand and the potential for toll-based financing on the Roberts International Airport Highway, including candidate toll locations, vehicle classes and indicative revenue sensitivity.

The study combined historical traffic counts, a modelled planning dataset and targeted field checks. It identified the additional seasonal evidence required before a full feasibility and investment decision.

Scope of work

  • Review historical classified counts and calibrate daily, hourly and directional traffic profiles.
  • Conduct short-duration traffic checks and targeted trip-pattern interviews.
  • Screen candidate toll locations and assess vehicle-class and tariff scenarios.
  • Prepare an auditable workbook and templates for replacement with new observed counts.

Documented outputs and progress

  • A seven-day, 24-hour, two-direction planning dataset covering nine vehicle classes.
  • Screening of four candidate toll-plaza locations.
  • Traffic, toll-class and revenue-sensitivity workbooks with documented quality-control checks.

The core traffic dataset is modelled and field-calibrated. It does not replace a new seasonal traffic survey; wet-season counts remain a next-stage requirement.
