Scope and projects
Cambray Consulting staff members have provided traffic engineering and planning input into a number of small and large-scale projects around Australia and Singapore. Cambray's work includes Traffic Management, Traffic Planning, Traffic Impact Assessment, Bus Priority Measures, Pedestrian and Cyclist Studies, Urban Traffic Control, Developer Contributions, Signal Design & Co-Ordination, Mobility Studies, Highway Feasibility Studies, Road Safety Audits, Strategy Development, Urban Traffic Studies, Public Consultation, Expert Witness Services, Wildlife Underpass Planning, Intelligent Transport System Planning, Road Network Planning, Infrastructure Charging, and Transport Policy Planning.

Queen's Wharf Integrated Resort, Brisbane
Andrew Douglas provided specialist Transport Planning and Traffic Engineering input including the development of Technical Specifications, Technical Review and Assessment, and liaison with Brisbane City Council, the Department of Transport and Main Roads, and Queensland's Department of State Development on a fast-tracked timeframe. The project demanded expert balancing of stakeholder requirements while providing room for an iconic world-class outcome. As part of this contract, Cambray was required to review modelling, studies, investigations and preliminary concepts prepared by the various proponents. We were also required to assist the State with planning and strategy development. Importantly, our advice was provided generally in accordance with current legislation as well as traffic engineering standards, codes, manuals and guidelines.

Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre
Andrew Douglas project managed the traffic input into the 1600 space multi-storey carpark for the $150M Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre project, which also included structural, civil and geotechnical engineering advice. Andrew also provided advice regarding access management, servicing and public transport arrangements, and how they integrated with pedestrian access and movement within the 25,000m2 exhibition halls. Andrew also prepared the traffic management plan to facilitate the construction of the Convention Centre. He also prepared the Traffic Management Plans and coordinated these with Brisbane City Council’s Traffic Management Plan to reverse the adjoining one-way streets. More recently Andrew has provided advice for changes to Convention Centre accesses to reflect the reversal of Merivale Street.

Coronation Drive Tidal Flow Bus Lane Project
Andrew Douglas was the project director for the study commissioned by Brisbane City Council, to identify a means of improving bus travel times and reliability without reducing capacity for private vehicles along the three kilometre corridor. The provision of a peak direction bus lane was selected as the most effective means of providing bus priority within the constrained riverside corridor, and whilst this has recently been dismantled to make way for the Hale Street Bridge Project, it is considered to represent the most intelligent and successful application of Tidal Flow Technology. Andrew specifically assisted Council in the detailed planning and design of the project, including:
 * Assessing options and developing the overall concept options;
 * Developing a TRANSYT model to assess the travel time benefits for buses and private vehicles along the corridor;
 * Assisting Council with the detailed planning and design of the preferred arrangement;
 * Redefining tidal flow technology requirements and and assisting in optimising operations from both a capacity and a road safety viewpoint;
 * Providing ongoing advice, including preparing the Tidal Flow System Technical Specification and assisting the Council in the evaluation of tenders;
 * Detailing how the system and device performance, including device state, fault response and transition sequencing and timing; and
 * Developing and testing the various operational states at a device state level.
