2023 ITS Australia Awards: Finalists, and iMOVE R&D award
Finalists in the 2023 ITS Australia awards have been announced. Here’s the iMOVE projects included, & news of our sponsoring the R&D award category.
Investigating the viability of hydrogen fuel for heavy vehicle use
This project identifies key segments of the heavy vehicle fleet likely to transition to hydrogen fuel technology and provide a roadmap for the NSW government.
Working near traffic: Work zone end of queue study
This project will develop an evidence base to understand which traffic control measures are most effective in reducing injuries at end of queue road worksites.
Improving worker safety on the M1 Motorway
This project will seek to identify opportunities for innovative ways to use existing technologies and new ways of working to improve roadside worker safety.
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.
Autonomous vehicles in highly crowded pedestrian environments
This PhD project will look at algorithms to estimate the position/intention of pedestrians essential for the safe interaction between CAVs and pedestrians.
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.
Movement & Place and the design of safe & successful places
Download a copy of our project final report, ‘Exploring balance between movement and place in designing safe and successful places’.
Secure supervisory architecture for smart & autonomous vehicles
The focus of this PhD project is the security technologies that would enable authorities to govern, protect, and regulate SAVs access to the public road network.
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.
MaaS blueprint design for regional towns and rural hinterlands

Community transport: Defining the problems, fixing the future
Download the final report from iMOVE’s ‘Innovative local transport: Community transport of the future’ project.
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.
Frictionless ticketing for public transport accessibility
This project explores new/emerging technologies offering a true frictionless ticketing experience across multiple modes for disabled public transport customers.
Evaluation of the Wagga Wagga Active Travel Plan
The research project will provide evidence of the short to medium-term changes and benefits of the Active Travel Plan, as well as enable longer-term benefits.
