Novel statistical analysis for traffic modelling. This collaborative research with Queensland Main Roads aims to develop and apply novel statistical modelling techniques which improve on the current statistical methods used for transport modelling. The research outcomes will provide a high level of accuracy in terms of predictions for trips leading to better use of expensive survey data. Predictions will be incorporated into transport models. Such model will be used for improving decisions i ....Novel statistical analysis for traffic modelling. This collaborative research with Queensland Main Roads aims to develop and apply novel statistical modelling techniques which improve on the current statistical methods used for transport modelling. The research outcomes will provide a high level of accuracy in terms of predictions for trips leading to better use of expensive survey data. Predictions will be incorporated into transport models. Such model will be used for improving decisions involving multi billion dollar transport infrastructure investment and applied to South East Queensland. The methods can be extended to transport models for other large conurbations in Australia. Outcomes include improved transport systems with economic benefits for business and the community.

Artificial Intelligence Based Deterioration Model for Development of Bridge Network Maintenance Strategy. The proposed AI-based methodology in conjunction with a Bridge Management System can tailor-make bridge deterioration models for a given bridge authority. The models so produced will enable effective BMS implementation which generates missing inspection records of past years, establishes optimal MR&R strategies and then reliably forecasts future bridge condition ratings. The methodology will ....Artificial Intelligence Based Deterioration Model for Development of Bridge Network Maintenance Strategy. The proposed AI-based methodology in conjunction with a Bridge Management System can tailor-make bridge deterioration models for a given bridge authority. The models so produced will enable effective BMS implementation which generates missing inspection records of past years, establishes optimal MR&R strategies and then reliably forecasts future bridge condition ratings. The methodology will be verified using available bridge datasets of QDMR and GCCC. The methodology is applicable to other bridge authorities throughout Australia and internationally to maintain ageing bridge stock. Read moreRead less
The Airport Metropolis: Managing the Interfaces. The project aims to develop coordinated and equitable decision-making to ensure that airport-urban development balances economic, social and environmental issues and produces a sustainable regional (and national) competitive advantage that is both secure and resilient. The project will develop modelling technologies for the innovative management of data to ensure efficient and resilient infrastructure coordination. The outputs will enable an open ....The Airport Metropolis: Managing the Interfaces. The project aims to develop coordinated and equitable decision-making to ensure that airport-urban development balances economic, social and environmental issues and produces a sustainable regional (and national) competitive advantage that is both secure and resilient. The project will develop modelling technologies for the innovative management of data to ensure efficient and resilient infrastructure coordination. The outputs will enable an open planning process whereby all stakeholders are able to provide informed input into decision-making. Strategic decision-making, based on increased certainty about future airport and regional planning and development will improve conditions for growth in a range of industries.Read moreRead less
