Melbourne SCATS Topic Pages
Melbourne Traffic Growth by Region
This page frames the SCATS project geographically: full-metro intensity, CBD intensity, arterial backbone pressure and critical-node mapping. It is designed for future suburb, corridor and regional growth tables.

Regional Interpretation
The current master page already has strong mapped evidence showing where traffic intensity concentrates. The next logical enhancement is to group sites by suburb, corridor, council area or road class and rank regional growth over time.
Regional and Corridor Maps
Arterial Skeleton Traffic Intensity
Shows the arterial structure of high-volume movement.
Top 5 Percent Arterial Backbone Heatmap
Highlights the strongest arterial backbone locations.
Top 1 Percent Critical Nodes
Maps critical traffic nodes for regional pressure screening.
Future Regional Data Fields
Ideal future columns: region, suburb, council area, corridor, SCATS site count, 2014 baseline volume, 2025 volume, percentage growth, absolute growth, peak-period pressure and OOH exposure potential.
