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.
Dia Adhikari Smith: Lighter fuels for heavy freight
An interview with Dr Dia Adhikari Smith, e-mobility research fellow at the University of Queensland’s Dow Centre for Sustainable Engineering Innovation.
Scenario developments for forecasting urban freight shifts
This project will develop a framework/tool for forecasting future scenarios of urban freight in informing planning and regulation (transport and land use).
Co-operative eco-driving system for mixed traffic on urban roads
The objective of this PhD study is to develop an eco-driving system for a mixed traffic consisting of CAVs and human-driven vehicles (HVs) on urban roads.
Electric vehicles: Supporting uptake, investigating smart charging
This PhD project looks to investigate how EV owners use and charge their vehicles, and more broadly, Australian consumers’ willingness to purchase an EV.
ODIN PASS: A Mobility as Service trial at UQ
The ODIN PASS MaaS trial will launch in mid-2021 at University of Queensland St Lucia for staff and students over a 12-month initial deployment period.
Developing a low/zero emission transport strategy for Australia
This project will provide evidence-based guidance to various levels of government for a Low and Zero Emission Transport Strategy for Australia.
Pedestrian and cyclist interaction with autonomous vehicles
This project will investigate AV/pedestrian interaction and AV/cyclist interaction to help introduce AVs to Australian roads safely and effectively.
Neil Sipe: Trouble with the kerb
Interview with Neil Sipe, the recently retired Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Queensland, but still consulting in the area.
Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram: Measuring flow and density
Research into a network-wide approach to identify critical links and estimate the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram using flow and density measurements.
Demand management/estimation in large-scale traffic networks
Development of demand management & estimation tools for large-scale traffic networks, incorporating macroscopic fundamental diagram-based traffic dynamics.
National Freight Data Hub to increase efficiency and productivity
iMOVE’s Freight Data Requirements Study is a blueprint for the ways technology can increase efficiency in Australia’s freight and logistics sector.
Integrated land use and transport modelling
Work toward a proposed framework and subsequent model to better utilise and account for changes in the future transport network capacity.
Zuduo Zheng: CAV man
Zuduo Zheng is looking closely at the challenges of putting connected and automated vehicles on our roads. iMOVE asks him about the work he’s doing.
Freight data requirements study
