Communities spend tens of billions of dollars every year on transportation. Data61 is playing a central role in the application of ICT to transport, making transportation safer, more productive and environmentally friendly.

CITI: Cooperative Intelligent Transport Initiative

Data61’s Approach

 

  • Cooperative intersection collision avoidance systems
  • Weather, work zone and rest area advisories
  • Calibration of network models through a world-first freight vehicle C-ITS test-bed, based in the Illawarra region of NSW, linking 3 intersections over a 42km route and involving 30 trucks.

 

Industry Engagement

The CITI project is managed by Data61, conceived by Transport for NSW, and working with academia and private industry.

Impact

 

  • Reducing the risk of collision
  • Increasing transport efficiency.

 

Data Driven ITS: Deriving transport intelligence from sensors

 

Data61’s ApproachDataDrivenITS-diagram

Using Data61’s Machine Learning expertise to:

  • Combine traffic and transport data from all available sensors
  • Develop data driven models for planning and operations that span large spatio-temporal scales
  • Incorporate new sensor types without the need to rebuild models from scratch.

 

Industry Engagement and Impact

Working with Australian Roads agencies to deliver better and more timely information:

  • Enabling travellers to make more informed travel choices
  • Enabling planners and decision makers to develop robust fact-based transportation models.
