Using a data-driven approach to improve intersection modelling
This PhD project investigates the use of big data and advanced mathematical techniques to better model the traffic flow at intersections.
WEBINAR: Transport system investment risk
This webinar will share key findings from recently completed research by the Planning and Transport Research Centre (PATREC) in Western Australia.
Modelling perimeter controls: Detailed simulation
This project will build on simulations of gating, and use MFDs to demonstrate its benefits in enabling better control of the Perth road network.
Working from home: Changes in transport demand in Perth
Project to build new knowledge and develop approaches to perpetuate and mainstream some of the more positive behaviours and outcomes of working from home.
A Smart Transport Technology Roadmap for Perth
Research project to develop empirical understanding of the skills gaps, shortages, and the necessary training needs in transport/mobility to inform policy.
Econometrics, land use inputs, and strategic transport models
This project’s aim is to improve the households & business land use activity inputs to transport modelling provided by a spatial econometric land use model.
Enhanced vehicle detection at traffic signals and on smart freeways
A project looking at vehicle detection technologies for traffic signal control and smart freeway operations, using comparative analysis and field trials.
Managing transport system investment risk
A project to adapt key existing planning tools, guidelines and frameworks to account for the uncertainty of changing trends and emerging technologies.
Action Plan for National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy released
The Action Plan for National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy is the roadmap for the next 5 years for improvements in the freight and logistics sector.
The short-haul urban intermodal freight landscape: Lessons for Perth
Overview of the Australian short-haul urban intermodal freight landscape, with a particular focus on Perth, and the work of PATREC.
Improved network performance prediction through data-driven analytics and simulation
This project aims to improve the ability of road authorities to predict network performance in the short-term using data-driven analytics and to estimate the impact of automated vehicles (AVs) in longer-term predictions.
Planning intermodal and general logistics infrastructure for the future needs of Perth
Related research streams to support the Westport Taskforce in planning for the Outer Harbour at Kwinana and the associated road and rail links as part of the long term integrated transport plan for Western Australia.
Western Australia starts strong with its first two iMOVE projects
Western Australia kicks off its iMOVE involvement with two projects, one looking at traffic prediction and preparation for connected vehicles, the other planning freight and trade logistics strategy for the next 50-100 years for Perth and its surrounds.
