What We Prepare

Swept path analysis is the most commonly requested traffic engineering report in planning permit conditions and council RFIs. We simulate vehicle turning movements in driveways, car parks, crossovers, and accessways — producing clear diagrams showing whether vehicles can safely enter, exit, and manoeuvre through your proposed layout.

Whether it's a residential council permit, a vehicle turning assessment for a driveway or crossover, or a response to a council RFI querying access, we prepare the swept path report your council is asking for. We work with developers, builders, architects, and permit applicants across Victoria and NSW. Send us your plans and council conditions — fixed fee quoted before we start.

We prepare Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) and Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGSs) for construction sites, road works, crossovers, driveways, and events across Victoria and NSW. If your council permit requires a TMP for a vehicle crossing, crossover construction, footpath works, or any activity on or near the road reserve, we prepare the document council is asking for. Fixed fee, fast turnaround, amendments included until approved.

TMP

Traffic Management Plan

The full document councils and road authorities require before approving works on or near a road. Without a compliant TMP, your permit application gets rejected. We prepare site-specific TMPs that address exactly what council needs.

  • Site-specific risk assessment
  • Traffic control strategy
  • AGTTM-compliant TGS drawings
  • Stakeholder notification plan
  • Emergency response procedures
  • Amendments included until approved
TGS

Traffic Guidance Scheme

The scaled drawing that sits inside the TMP — but also frequently requested as a standalone document by councils. Shows exactly where signs, cones, and traffic controllers are positioned on site.

  • One TGS per work configuration
  • Scaled site plan with measurements
  • Traffic control device positions
  • Signage and warning placement
  • Worker safety zones
  • Pedestrian and cyclist routing

We prepare the plan. You choose your crew.

Rapid Traffic Engineering is an independent consultancy. We are not a traffic control company. We prepare your TMP or TGS — you engage whichever traffic control crew you want to deploy it. Our plans are written to satisfy councils, not to lock you into any particular crew. Fixed fee. No upsell.

Councils across Australia regularly require swept path analysis and traffic management plans as a condition of planning permits, development approvals, and RFI responses.

Example — Residential Planning Permit

Maroondah Council required swept path diagrams for a two-dwelling development — demonstrating appropriate access by the relevant design vehicle for 2 car parking spaces, prepared by a qualified traffic engineering professional.

Example — Construction Works TMP

Council required a Traffic Management Plan for works adjacent to the road reserve, including a scaled TGS showing traffic controller positions, lane closure strategy, and pedestrian management for the duration of works.

FAQs

Common Questions

What is a swept path analysis?
A swept path analysis assesses whether vehicles can safely manoeuvre through a proposed layout by simulating turning movements and tracking the vehicle envelope against the design. Any size vehicle can be simulated — from a standard car to a fire truck or semi-trailer.
What's the difference between a TMP and a TGS?
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is the full document councils require before approving works on or near a road — it includes a risk assessment, traffic control strategy, drawings, and sign-off. A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is the scaled drawing component inside the TMP showing exactly where signs, cones, and traffic controllers are placed. Some councils want the full TMP; others ask for a TGS as a standalone. Not sure which you need? Just ask — we'll work it out from your council conditions.
Do I need a TMP for construction works near a road?
Yes — most councils and road authorities require a Traffic Management Plan before approving works on or adjacent to the road reserve. This includes residential construction, driveway crossovers, drainage works, and any activity that affects traffic or pedestrians. Without a compliant TMP, your permit application will be rejected.
Do I need a TMP for a crossover or driveway permit?
In most cases, yes. Councils generally require a Traffic Management Plan (and often a Traffic Guidance Scheme) before issuing a vehicle crossing or crossover construction permit, because the works affect the footpath and road. We prepare council-ready TMPs and TGSs specifically for crossover and driveway works — send us your council conditions and we'll confirm exactly what's required.
Can swept path analysis respond to a council RFI on vehicle access?
Yes. Swept path analysis is commonly prepared or updated to respond to a Request for Further Information (RFI) where a council has queried vehicle turning, driveway access, car parking manoeuvring, or accessway design on a residential or commercial permit. We prepare diagrams that directly address the council's RFI point.
When is swept path analysis required for a development approval?
Swept path analysis is commonly requested by planning authorities where access, parking, loading, waste servicing, or emergency vehicle movements form part of a development application. It frequently appears as a condition on planning permits or in council RFI letters.
What if council asks for amendments?
Amendments are included at no extra cost for all our services. If council comes back with changes, we revise until it's approved — that's part of the fixed fee.
Do I need to visit site or meet in person?
No site visit required. We work entirely remotely — just send us your site plan, council conditions, or permit RFI by email and we'll take it from there.
