While for some industries the pandemic is already fading into the background for transport planners and traffic modellers its impact is still being felt and there is a clear sense from the latest Highways Asks survey that the industry is already gearing up to tackle the changes. Almost 70% of those surveyed expected to see a moderate or major long-term impact from the disruption of the last few years, with over a quarter expecting the effect to be major. As a result, close to three quarters (72.8%) of respondents said they planned to increase their traffic monitoring, and modelling budget. More than half (52.3%) of the total respondents said they would increase the budget and spend the money differently, with 20.5% saying that while the budget would increase it would largely be spent on the same strategies. |
