At KPI, our expertise lies in delivering top-tier traffic management solutions, meticulous planning, and seamless permit facilitation for some of Victoria’s most complex infrastructure projects. A key highlight of our approach is the deployment of our Automated Cone Trucks (ACTs), which ensure maximum precision, efficiency, and safety on-site.
Currently, we have two Automated Cone Trucks operating on the Eastern Freeway Upgrade, one of Melbourne’s most ambitious transport projects. Together, these trucks have already:
-
Deployed and retrieved over 10,000 traffic cones with pinpoint accuracy.
-
Saved our crews hundreds of hours of manual handling, reducing fatigue and workplace risk.
-
Contributed to a 40% increase in operational efficiency, allowing safer and faster traffic management setups.
The Eastern Freeway Upgrade introduces advanced traffic management technologies, new express lanes, and Melbourne’s first-ever dedicated express busway. Once complete, these enhancements are expected to significantly reduce travel times and improve the reliability of public transport across the city’s eastern suburbs.
Beyond transport efficiency, the project also prioritises sustainability and community wellbeing. Key features include:
-
New walking and cycling pathways to encourage active transport.
-
Upgraded open spaces, wetlands, and waterways, enhancing the natural environment.
-
Next-generation noise barriers built to meet enhanced noise reduction standards, ensuring quieter and more liveable communities.
With KPI’s cutting-edge traffic management solutions and the deployment of our Automated Cone Trucks, we are proud to be playing a critical role in supporting this transformative project that will reshape Melbourne’s transport network and urban environment.
