VLC has extensive specialist experience in the forecasting of traffic demands on roads with tolls. VLC has recently developed new toll modelling algorithms and procedures which are, to the best of our knowledge, the most advanced in the world today. These algorithms put VLC at the very forefront of travel demand forecasting on toll roads. VLC’s toll modelling capabilities now far surpass anything seen before in Australia.

In recent years, VLC has successfully carried out analyses of toll roads for both private and public sector clients. In particular, the Victorian Government has employed VLC on an exclusive basis since 199x, to provide the Government forecasts of toll usage on the Melbourne Citylink Project (about $AU 1.8 Billion). This has involved the forecasting of traffic demands, evaluations of economic benefits, analysis of design issues, and our modelling capability has also been used in the resolution of AMBIT claims.

Following our work on the Citylink project, the Victorian Government has also employed us to provide the same analysis for the Mitcham-Frankston Toll Road Project (estimated in excess of $AU 2.5 Billion). VLC has used its recently developed toll modelling algorithms on this project.
