Melbourne trams: Better data to improve operation and planning
This project’s aim was to improve efficiency of tram operations, assist with route and service planning, integration, and operation of tram routes with other modes of transport.
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.
C-ITS national harmonisation and pre-deployment research
This project will allow assessment of C-ITS benefits, deployment, & considerations & provide recommendations that could support adoption by Australian road authorities.
Impact of Inland Rail on regional road and rail networks
The study will update and improve the evidence base available to NSW, QLD, and VIC governments for bulk grain production/movements on the east coast.
Modelling cycling investments in regional areas
Development of a framework to model benefits of cycling infrastructure investments and design a prioritisation tool to generate evidence and compare benefits.
Gippsland community e-Bus pilot
This project will pilot a community-run electric shuttle in Venus Bay and Sandy Point in Gippsland, and evaluate best practices to run such a service elsewhere.
