Identifying opportunities to address Perth transport disadvantage
Objectives, findings, expected project impacts and a downloadable final report for the “Defining transport disadvantage in Perth” project.
Safer cycling infrastructure: Design and policy
The final report on the ‘Safer cycling and street design: A guide for policymakers’, outlining the objectives, methodology, finding and expected impacts.
See Me: Transforming passenger experience on public transport
This project will move the See Me app from its current proof of concept readiness to a more commercial-ready solution.
New/emerging transport tech: Greater accessibility and inclusivity
This project will identify opportunities to overcome common barriers to transport accessibility and inclusivity via use of new/emerging transport technologies.
Smart bike lights, data, and improved cyclist safety
Our smart bike light trial has ended, and the wrap-up article, and the trial’s final report, ‘Light Insight Trial (LiT) Research Report’ is available here.
Public transport & frictionless ticketing: Technology opportunities
A wrap-up of our frictionless ticketing project, and the final report, ‘Public transport & frictionless ticketing: Technology opportunities’.
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.
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.
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.
Workforce implications of transport digitalisation and automation
This project will develop a deeper understanding of the transport workforce implications due to digitalisation and automation in the Australian market.
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.
Your Street, Your Say: Better streets for Darebin
The goal of this project is to recommend interventions and projects to turn streets into better public spaces by building on aspirations of the local community.
Defining transport disadvantage in Perth
Literature review/stakeholder interviews to guide the estimation of the extent, spatial distribution, & nature of transport disadvantage in the Greater Perth region.
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.
Government initiatives to support women in the transport sector
This project will identify the barriers to women entering & progressing within the transport sector workforce, & audit/evaluate government initiatives in this area.
The TRavel, Environment and Kids (TREK) Study: 15 years on
This project aims to update and expand the TRavel, Environment and Kids study (TREK) conducted in Perth in 2005.
