Safety risk evaluation of the remote operation of HAVs
This project will identify functional safety risks of selected scenarios of the remote operation of Highly Automated Vehicles, and provide recommendations.
Desire lines user behaviour: Initial research
The purpose of this project is to study the route choice behaviour of pedestrians and their attitudes towards desire lines around public transport interchanges.
Method to monitor the share of safe travel on high-speed roads
The objective of this project is to develop a sound methodology to measure share of high-speed travel on roads with a minimum safety rating of 3 stars.
Older drivers: Advanced driving assistance technologies and AVs
This research will address key issues regarding perceptions of ADAS and AVs in older adults, the extent to which this tech can improve their safety and mobility.
Safely introducing CAVs into integrated transport networks
Research into customer-focused safe operation of CAVs in various urban environments to improve road user safety & inform NSW of road readiness for CAVs.
5G aid in automated mobility for elderly and people with disability
This research program will explore opportunities that 5G offers to improve performance of CAV shuttles and accessibility for elderly and people with disability.
Safer cycling and street design: A guide for policymakers
An investigation of integrating cycling facilities into urban/suburban environments, addressing the concerns of (potential) cyclists worried about safety.
Data analytics for development and testing of AVs on urban roads
This project will provide comprehensive driving data and analysis tools for the design and testing of an autonomous vehicles software stack.
Traffic lights: Collision avoidance strategies/damage mitigation
This project will investigate likely contributing factors for traffic crashes involving traffic signal posts in Queensland, and strategies to mitigate these collisions.
Accelerated and intelligent RAP data collection
Use of AI and machine learning techniques in collecting AusRAP data has potential to reduce costs and increase the frequency and accuracy of its information.
Incident response vehicles and truck-mounted attenuators
This project will provide guidance on best practice for the procurement and safe use of incident response vehicles and truck-mounted attenuators.
Light Insight Trial (LiT): Smart bike lights data and road safety
A project investigating whether smart bike lights will not only enhance visibility, but also provide new insight into road safety issues for cyclists.
Promoting community readiness and uptake of CAVs
This study will look at current Australian attitudes towards CAVs, and levers available for government to increase community acceptance and confidence.
Australian CAV readiness: Integrating a data probe vehicle
The objective of this project is to establish a vehicle as a test bed to enable applied research by the ARRB FTS team into deployment of CAVs in Australia.
Australia’s Public Transport Disability Standards and CAVs
This project will examine if and how CAV modes and services can be incorporated into the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002.
Connected Vehicle Pilot: Safety and user perceptions evaluation
The build of standardised analysis methodology to evaluate the safety benefits of C-ITS, guiding transport agencies in regard to supporting its development.
