Railway crossing maps for autonomous road freight capabilities
Outcomes from the “Mapping passive railway crossings to inform freight” project, including objectives, methodology, results, and a copy of the final report.
Measures to reduce iron ore and coal rail track contamination
A project focused on a significant issue in the heavy haulage rail sector: accumulation of iron ore, coal dust, etc. within the train load-out system and dumpers.
Designing for passengers, transport and homeless support
This project will identify how Transport for NSW designs space for effective and respectful service provision for rough sleepers sheltering in transport precincts.
Data-driven optimisation to enhance train/tram power systems
This project aims to provide actionable insights for a sustainable future in rail transport, using data-driven optimisation methods.
Using real-time train data to improve level crossing safety
A feasibility study, examining the use of real-time train info to inform pedestrians/road users when a train will be passing, and how long the gate will be closed.
Train horns: Pedestrian safety and residential wellness
Findings, outcomes, and impacts of our’ Train horns: Broader social effects and pedestrian simulations’ project, and includes the final report as a download.
Reduction of rail track contamination from iron ore and coal dust
This project will provide insight to rail infrastructure system owners/operators to support future efforts in designing for resilience and climate change adaptation.
Railway station platform gap solutions effectiveness
This project will build a fact base to recognise the dangers of gaps between railway station platforms & any train, plus test proof of concept prototype solutions.
Human size variation in design of Australian transport systems
This project will provide a comprehensive review of currently available Australian anthropometric data and its applicability to the Australian Transport industry.
Transport investment planning, tools, and frameworks
A downloadable final report for our ‘Managing transport system investment risk’ project, along with the main findings of that report.
Co-modality: Could it mitigate the freight load in Sydney?
A downloadable final report for our Co-modality: Making use of public transport to carry freight, with partners Transport for NSW and University of Sydney.
iMOVE projects 21 to 30: What are they, who’s doing them?
iMOVE has hit the 30 project mark. Find out more about the latest 10 projects, who’s leading them, and where they are taking place.
Co-modality: Making use of public transport to carry freight
A feasibility study looking at the possibility of diverting some freight tasks from the road network to utilising spare capacity on public transport.
Mapping passive railway crossings to inform freight potential
This project will result in the building of a storymap to prepare for the safe navigation of passive level crossings by autonomous freight vehicles.
2018 Train Control Management Systems Conference report
iMOVE Managing Director, Ian Christensen attended the 2018 Train Control Management Systems conference, and made a few notes on the proceedings.
Sydney’s new Metro driverless train undergoing track tests
The Metro is a new driverless train for new sections of Sydney’s rail network, and it’s undergoing testing right now ahead of being put into public use in 2019.
