Aviation is a major economic driver both within Australia and overseas, but the aviation industry faces growing challenges from the increase in passengers and changing regulations. To meet these challenges, airports, airlines, government agencies and others need to maximise their efficiency and productivity; however, complex dependencies and differing operational objectives complicate this task. This project aims to develop a real-time, whole-of-system operational performance framework that can help operators in finding and evaluating solutions to maximise throughput, reduce wait times and mitigate flow-on effects. Innovative new video analytic and Bayesian Network based tools are integrated to address the challenges of adaptability and uncertainty.Read moreRead less

Summary
Integrated command and control facility for large-scale critical infrastructure management. This is a test bed facility for achieving sustainable operation of Australia's critical infrastructure, particularly at airports. The facility will enable an integrated and coordinated strategy to increase operational resilience while not losing sight of the complex nature and dynamic requirements of critical infrastructure management.
An integrated model for assessing health effects of nanoparticle inhalation. This project aims to examine the associated risks of nanoparticle inhalation on heath by developing a toxicological predictive tool for health risk assessment. The outcomes of this research will lead to greatly improved preventative measures, thereby reducing occupational diseases and the health socio-economic burden of Australia.
A Multiscale Modelling Platform for Nanoparticle Inhalation Risk Assessment. This project aims to explore the health risks caused by nanoparticle inhalation and its penetration through respiratory mucus and tissue cells. Exposure to nanoparticles has the potential to cause serious and possibly fatal health effects. An understanding of nanoparticle toxicology would enable us to appropriately protect the public’s health and safety. The project plans to consider human respiratory anatomy and physio ....A Multiscale Modelling Platform for Nanoparticle Inhalation Risk Assessment. This project aims to explore the health risks caused by nanoparticle inhalation and its penetration through respiratory mucus and tissue cells. Exposure to nanoparticles has the potential to cause serious and possibly fatal health effects. An understanding of nanoparticle toxicology would enable us to appropriately protect the public’s health and safety. The project plans to consider human respiratory anatomy and physiology and use advanced computer modelling and experimental techniques to evaluate the health risk of exposure to the burgeoning number of nanomaterials found in consumer products. The expected outcome of the project is a predictive tool that determines nanoparticle exposure risk and its health consequences.Read moreRead less
Developing an integrated predictive model for optimal design of ventilation systems in buildings. This project will undertake a comprehensive study to characterize indoor contaminant exposure to develop an integrated predictive model for optimal design of ventilation systems. The outcomes of this research may lead to improved preventative measures, reducing occupational diseases and cutting socio-economic burden to the Australian community.
