Inferring driver behaviours, intent and risk in complex traffic scenarios. This project intends to develop methods to evaluate risk during driving. The next generation of vehicles will be fitted with sophisticated perception and egocentric information. This will be combined with inter-vehicle communication enabling cooperative safety, used in conjunction with intelligent infrastructure. This technology is expected to be mandated in the United States starting from 2017. This project plans to deve ....Inferring driver behaviours, intent and risk in complex traffic scenarios. This project intends to develop methods to evaluate risk during driving. The next generation of vehicles will be fitted with sophisticated perception and egocentric information. This will be combined with inter-vehicle communication enabling cooperative safety, used in conjunction with intelligent infrastructure. This technology is expected to be mandated in the United States starting from 2017. This project plans to develop unsupervised learning algorithms to infer high-level driver behaviours, intent and contextual information to automatically evaluate levels of risk under complex driving scenarios. It plans to validate the results using naturalistic driving datasets taken in large-scale deployments around the world. This innovation may improve automotive safety and facilitate the deployment of autonomous vehicles.Read moreRead less
Trustworthy positioning for intelligent transport systems. This project aims to develop a holistic approach for reliable positioning for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). This project will address the challenges of integrity monitoring in ITS when using satellite-based technology, its integration with other sensors, and when supported by the proposed Australia National Positioning Infrastructure. It will consider Australian geography, large area, and sparse population, and emphasise rural tra ....Trustworthy positioning for intelligent transport systems. This project aims to develop a holistic approach for reliable positioning for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). This project will address the challenges of integrity monitoring in ITS when using satellite-based technology, its integration with other sensors, and when supported by the proposed Australia National Positioning Infrastructure. It will consider Australian geography, large area, and sparse population, and emphasise rural transport. Expected primary outputs include algorithms, a detailed analysis of required systems and recommendations that will help prepare Australia for the importation of self-driving vehicles.Read moreRead less

Summary
Understanding the automobility decisions of Australian millennials. The aim of this project is to understand the decision-making of young Australians regarding driver licensing and car travel. After decades of growth in car use, young adults are now becoming less likely to get a licence and drive cars. This reduction in car dependence provides an opportunity to reduce road deaths and injuries, road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding how and why young adults make decisions abo ....Understanding the automobility decisions of Australian millennials. The aim of this project is to understand the decision-making of young Australians regarding driver licensing and car travel. After decades of growth in car use, young adults are now becoming less likely to get a licence and drive cars. This reduction in car dependence provides an opportunity to reduce road deaths and injuries, road congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding how and why young adults make decisions about their current and future car mobility could support this societal transformation and enhance sustainability and well-being.Read moreRead less
