Success through many steps
There are no silver bullet solutions to current challenges in transport. Transport’s complexity and interdependencies demand a more incremental approach.
The OneDock universal micromobility locking & charging station
OneDock is a universal locking, charging, tracking & sharing system for all electric bikes & scooters. Videos here introduce the product, & what it will become.
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.
Transport decarbonisation: Three difficult questions
Decarbonising transport is going to be hard. While there are plenty of ideas floating around the harsh reality is that very few options are economically attractive.
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.
