Real-time Analytics on Urban Trajectory Data for Road Traffic Management. This project aims to develop real-time analytics and data management capabilities that leverage large-scale urban trajectory data to provide road operators with real-time insights into population movements and enable data-driven, customer-centric network operations. Current traffic management practices rely heavily on aggregate vehicle count data from fixed road sensors, which have limitations in accurately measuring traff ....Real-time Analytics on Urban Trajectory Data for Road Traffic Management. This project aims to develop real-time analytics and data management capabilities that leverage large-scale urban trajectory data to provide road operators with real-time insights into population movements and enable data-driven, customer-centric network operations. Current traffic management practices rely heavily on aggregate vehicle count data from fixed road sensors, which have limitations in accurately measuring traffic demand and network congestion propagation. This project seeks to develop innovative technologies to use a wide variety of data sources, especially massive trajectories of vehicles moving across the network, to better understand people's travel demands and road usage patterns and thus better manage the transport system.

A New Approach to Air Traffic Management to Deliver Significantly Reduced Environmental Impact and System-wide Efficiencies. Aviation is often cited as a major contributor to harmful emissions in the upper atmosphere. The primary outcome of this project is the development of tools that will enable aviation industry stakeholders to optimise the deployment of 4-Dimensional User Preferred Trajectories across Australian airspace. It is expected that this will result in significant environmental bene ....A New Approach to Air Traffic Management to Deliver Significantly Reduced Environmental Impact and System-wide Efficiencies. Aviation is often cited as a major contributor to harmful emissions in the upper atmosphere. The primary outcome of this project is the development of tools that will enable aviation industry stakeholders to optimise the deployment of 4-Dimensional User Preferred Trajectories across Australian airspace. It is expected that this will result in significant environmental benefit, through reductions in fuel burn for each flight, and increases in system effectiveness. The project will enable better analysis of Australian aviation environmental effect, whilst at the same time allowing the aviation industry to continue to contribute to Australia's sustainable economic growth.

Highly Multiplexed Fibre Sensor Systems for Structural Health Monitoring and Risk Assessment of Critical Transport Infrastructures. Safeguarding critical transport infrastructures is very much in the interest of Australian government and people. This project is to develop advanced photonic and telecommunication technologies for timely and reliably acquiring and processing key structural performance information. This will reduce structural failures and maintenance costs with reliable data of stru ....Highly Multiplexed Fibre Sensor Systems for Structural Health Monitoring and Risk Assessment of Critical Transport Infrastructures.

Virtual Collaborative Logistics and Partner to Partner Information Systems. Increasingly there is a tendency around the world for logistics companies that provide transport and warehousing services to band together to share their physical resources so they can extend their reach beyond their current region of operation. When this is coupled with internet ordering and status monitoring one has an e-logistics company that is a virtual logistics provider that gives access to these shared resources ....Virtual Collaborative Logistics and Partner to Partner Information Systems. Increasingly there is a tendency around the world for logistics companies that provide transport and warehousing services to band together to share their physical resources so they can extend their reach beyond their current region of operation. When this is coupled with internet ordering and status monitoring one has an e-logistics company that is a virtual logistics provider that gives access to these shared resources. Such a virtual collaborative logistics consortium requires very strong partner-to-partner IT support and communication. This project investigates the use of XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) enabled mobile software agents to provide this support.Read moreRead less
SmartData: developing intelligent database system for communicating information to aviation and professional vehicle operators: towards safer transport industries. Detriments in human functional state is a major problem in the 'round the clock' transportation industries such as heavy-vehicle industry and aviation. The repetitive and monotonous nature of the tasks in these environments lead to fatigue, inattention and stress. This project proposes a unique and innovative SmartData system that w ....SmartData: developing intelligent database system for communicating information to aviation and professional vehicle operators: towards safer transport industries. Detriments in human functional state is a major problem in the 'round the clock' transportation industries such as heavy-vehicle industry and aviation. The repetitive and monotonous nature of the tasks in these environments lead to fatigue, inattention and stress. This project proposes a unique and innovative SmartData system that will interact with operators and their working environment to counteract detriments in human performance. The proposed SmartData system will have the capabilities of alerting and warning of potentially hazardous situations associated with degradations in human performance. This innovative project aims to improve the safety culture of two major transportation sectors.Read moreRead less
An integrated and real-time passenger travel and public transport service information system. This project will help the Department of Transport provide improved services to the public through a better understanding of journey planning demands in comparison to public transport services. By integrating research through design methods with technological solutions, the project will deliver better quality of service and higher customer satisfaction.
