Our top 10 articles for 2025

10. Being a V2G trailblazer: Lessons for mass market adoption

First-up this year is one of the two pieces of iMOVE content in this Top 10 list that is NOT one of our ‘introduction to a transport topic’ articles. Rather this is a progress report on one of our projects, Leading the charge in bi-directional charging.

“The people in Australia that have switched to V2G have had a tough road. They are trailblazers in the true sense of the word, and they are now enjoying the benefits that V2G has to offer. Those benefits will be financial as the V2G set-up costs are amortised. Additionally, they have taken steps to making their energy use more environmentally friendly, and given them control over their electricity, rather than be at the mercy of the providers.”

9. Electric Vehicles: Info, Projects & Resources

Coming in at #9 is one of transport topics articles.

In the article we look at:

• How does Australia’s EV market compare to the rest of the world?
• What are the benefits of electric vehicles?
• What are the associated costs of electric vehicles?
• What are the challenges of electric vehicles?
• Electric vehicles resources
• Electric vehicles: 2023 sales statistics
• Electric vehicles: History, and facts and figures
• iMOVE and electric vehicles
• iMOVE electric vehicle projects
• iMOVE electric vehicle PhD projects
• iMOVE electric vehicle articles

8. Motorcyclist safety: Connected motorcycle pilot

The second, and last in this year’s Top 10 that is a project-related article rather than a transport topic article. Partners on this project are the Department of Transport and Main Roads (Queensland), Transport Accident Commission, and La Trobe University.

“This project investigated the use of Co-operative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) technologies to improve road safety for motorcycle riders, with the research to be undertaken concurrently in Queensland and Victoria, in off-road scenarios.

Motorcycle riders are over-represented in fatal and serious injury crashes compared to other transport modes – too many riders’ lives are lost to preventable crashes. This project will leverage emerging C-ITS technologies to connect riders with infrastructure, cloud and vehicle data providing alerts to improve rider awareness to relevant real-time safety issues.

Connections to data, existing systems and a desirable, safe, and co-designed usable Human Machine Interface (HMI) will require development in partnership with a motorcycle rider panel of experts.

Additionally, simulated and off-road trials with riders will enable studying of the system’s performance, safety impact and user perception, for the purpose of recommendations for industry and government.”

The project was completed in late 2025, and it’s wrap=up and final report is available at: Using C-ITS to make motorcyclists safer.

7. Active Transport: Info, Projects & Resources

Walking or riding rather than driving offers the two-fold benefit of increasing mental and physical health while reducing motorised transport’s impact on the environment.

Increased levels of active travel can alleviate the social and economic costs of significant public health issues like physical inactivity and depression.

Physically active people are less likely to become overweight. They’re also less likely to develop cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis and depression. Physically active adults in the workforce have lower rates of absenteeism and increased job satisfaction.

Active transport can also build social capital, which is also associated with a wide range of positive health outcomes, by increasing social and community interaction.

Some of the aspects we look into in the area of active transport here include:

• What are the benefits of active transport?
• What are the challenges of active transport?
• What are active transport initiatives?
• Careers in active transport
• Active transport: Facts and figures
• What is iMOVE doing in active transport?
• iMOVE’s active transport works and impacts
• iMOVE active transport projects
• iMOVE active transport PhD projects
• iMOVE active transport articles

6. Alternative Fuels: Info, Projects & Resources

Transport’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels has made it Australia’s third-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Transport was responsible for 19% of Australia’s total emissions in 2020, according to the government’s Climate Change Authority, and this is predicted to rise to 25% by 2030. Light passenger and commercial vehicles made up 62% of Australia’s transport emissions in 2019, and 60% in 2022.

Efforts to decarbonise Australia’s transport sector must include breaking its dependence on fossil fuels. There are many viable alternatives, each with its benefits and challenges.

On-page highlights include:

• Biofuel
• Electricity
• Hydrogen
• Alternative fuels and freight
• Alternative fuels resources
• FACTS: A Framework for an Australian Clean Transport Strategy
• iMOVE alternative fuels activities and impacts
• iMOVE alternative fuels projects

5. Road Safety: Info, Projects & Resources

With more than 1,000 people dying on the roads each year, Australia’s federal, state and territory governments have set ambitious targets when it comes to improving road safety, and a reduction in injuries and fatalities for all road users.

Topics to hover over and dive into here include:

4. Micromobility: Info, Projects, & Resources

Micromobility has exploded on to Australian roads. And footpaths. It’s been both enthusiastically taken-up, and controversial.

This deep dive into micromobility includes:

• What are the benefits of micromobility?
• Impact of micromobility on infrastructure
• What are the challenges of micromobility?
• What is the future of micromobility?
• What is iMOVE doing in the area of micromobility?
• iMOVE’s micromobility works and impacts
• iMOVE micromobility projects
• iMOVE micromobility PhD projects
• iMOVE micromobility articles

3. Sustainable Transportation: Info, Projects & Resources

Developing sustainable transport solutions, whether it is for public or private use, is an important part of ensuring countries meet environmental goals amid growing concerns about climate change. It is important to start the conversation by defining sustainable transport.

The path to more sustainable transport systems involves a variety of approaches, including the shift to low-, zero-emission and more energy efficient vehicles, development of alternative fuels and their associated fuelling infrastructure, and boosting transport mode shift to public transport, micromobility, and active transport options.

• What are the benefits of sustainable transport?
• Disadvantages of sustainable transport?
• Types of sustainable vehicles
• Sustainable fuel, batteries, and efficiency
• The future of sustainable transportation
• Sustainable transport resources

1. $2 million fund to support transport innovation

And at number 1 position this year, and with almost double the page views of the second-placed article, is our announcement of Impact Extension Program 2 (IEP2). This second round of the IEP program provided a $2 million funding pool to support promising transport innovations.

The IEP program contributes to iMOVE’s overarching mission to advance the development and adoption of technologies that improve Australia’s transport systems, through high-impact R&D collaborations.
