Prospects for decarbonising freight transport in Australia
A comparative evaluation of the energy and environmental performance of the electric battery and hydrogen fuel cell for freight vehicles in Australia.
Overviews, progress reports, and general info for research and development projects carried out by iMOVE and its partners, in the areas of: Intelligent Transport Systems, Freight and Logistics, and Personal and Public Mobility.
Arterial Network Smart Performance Assessment
This project will investigate/develop a data-driven assessment tool for arterial networks, using established/emerging technologies and advanced data analytics.
MaaS: What have we learned, and where to next?
The Mobility as a Service: Research summary, conclusions and action recommendations report takes an overview of all MaaS work by iMOVE and its partners.
Speed management in regional towns and on freeway ramps
This project will contribute to improving road safety in WA, and state and national goals of reducing road trauma and enhancing safe mobility for all road users.
C-ITS national harmonisation and pre-deployment research
This project will allow assessment of C-ITS benefits, deployment, & considerations & provide recommendations that could support adoption by Australian road authorities.
Environmental impacts of Connected and Automated Vehicles
This project will investigate the environmental impacts of the transition from conventional vehicles to Connected and Automated Vehicles in Australia.
Impact of Inland Rail on regional road and rail networks
The study will update and improve the evidence base available to NSW, QLD, and VIC governments for bulk grain production/movements on the east coast.
Development of a rail-based conveyer auto cart change facility
Development of an automated carriage changeout system, eliminating the need for workers to enter and isolate the conveyor for carriage-related maintenance.
Solutions for improved road worker safety in NSW
An overview of the completed project ‘Improving worker safety on the M1 Motorway’, including a copy of the project’s final report.
Impacts of eRideables on the transport task in WA
This research will examine why people in Perth use electric rideable devices (micromobility), specifically use of their own devices rather than shared devices.
Sustainable last kilometre food and beverage delivery in Perth
This project will define the last kilometre freight challenges and opportunities in Perth/Peel, specifically focusing on the food and beverage sector.
TRIPS: A Trip Rate Information Processing System
This project will develop a centralised trip/parking generation database that can also facilitate the design, implementation, and validation of Green Travel Plans.
Modelling cycling investments in regional areas
Development of a framework to model benefits of cycling infrastructure investments and design a prioritisation tool to generate evidence and compare benefits.
Prototype Uncrewed Air System delivery aircraft development
This project will develop a prototype Uncrewed Air System (UAS) for long-range delivery of packages in Australia.
Connected and Automated Vehicle accessibility guide
This project will develop guidance materials for CAV and public transport developers/operators to ensure people with disability are considered in design/implementation.
Smartphone app to automatically collect travel patterns
The intent of this project is to better understand active travel demand – people’s choices to use active travel, trip purposes, and their route choices.
