Navigating Complex Consent Challenges

Case Study: Digital Billboard Success on Auckland Motorway

Discover how innovative methodologies and expert insights secured resource consent for digital billboards in a high-stakes environment.

Overcoming Regulatory Hurdles

Securing resource consent for digital billboards on the Auckland motorway presented significant challenges. Regulatory authorities and opposing experts raised concerns about driver distraction and safety. However, through a rigorous, evidence-based approach, we successfully addressed these issues, demonstrating the safety and viability of the project. Our expertise in traffic engineering and human behavior was crucial in navigating these complexities and achieving a favorable outcome.

Strategic Approach

Case Study: Overcoming Regulatory Challenges

In the pursuit of securing resource consent for digital billboards on the Auckland motorway, our team employed a comprehensive, evidence-backed strategy. We began by conducting thorough risk assessments using Monte Carlo simulations to predict potential outcomes and driver distraction levels. Our eye-tracking studies provided crucial data on driver focus and attention, which was pivotal in addressing safety concerns raised by regulatory authorities. By integrating driver task workload assessments and risk analysis of combined probability events, we demonstrated the minimal impact of digital billboards on traffic flow and safety. This robust approach, underpinned by Dr. Bezuidenhout’s extensive experience and academic research, ultimately led to the successful overturning of objections, setting a new standard in the industry.
